Most Helpful Review
I actually took ENGR 183, but there was no such option in the drop-down menu. Weltman's lectures were pretty much dry for the most part, but his powerpoint slides were pretty fascinating and interesting. He requires three essays out of you, all of which require you to do research online or in a library. The papers can be quite tedious, however, since each paper is about 5 to 6 pages in length. The biggest part of the course was the team research project. You get placed in a group of four, and you do research on a contemporary engineering problem. Your group has to present your research findings in the form of a powerpoint presentation as well as a 40+ page paper that is to look professional. The exams required a lot of writing in a couple of hours, so your hand has to be on its game if you want to finish on time.
