<p>What is it? It says it introduces students to all the fields of engineering at Duke... but what does that mean?</p>
<p>How much time does it take up in the class schedule and is it worth it?</p>
<p>I think it's like a seminar where they bring in people from different fields and give presentations on what they do and stuff like that. It's one day a week for like 1-1.5 hrs.</p>
<p>Edit: It might also be pass/fail.</p>
<p>This Fall, there will also be selected hands-on work. SBR's summary is correct - the idea is that the course is split into about five parts - one for each of the four departments, and the remainder to general items such as student groups, research opportunities, etc.</p>
<p>from what I've heard from my friends who took it 2 years ago ... it's a complete joke ... (I couldn't take it b/c I had a schedule conflict with Chem 23 Lab I recall) ... but it is a helpful seminar for the students who take it seriously</p>
