<p>Yes! A hum-sequence-esqe program for engineers!</p>
<p>Anyone thinking of applying? I think I will be. </p>
<p>And hey -- no essay! ;)</p>
<p>In the interest of staying informed, what the heck is EMP One?</p>

<p>It's basically a two-course-per-semester replacement for taking math and physics for engineers. It takes multivar, physics, and engineering projects and rolls them all into one.</p>
<p>"The goals of this course are to show the fundamental connections among engineering, math, and physics, to illustrate the integration among disciplines that is a key feature of engineering, and to give students exposure to engineering during the first year of study which should help them with their choice of majors at the end of the year.</p>
<p>ENG/MAT/PHY 191-194 will cover the content of Physics 103 (mechanics and thermodynamics) and 104 (electricity, magnetism, and optics), Math 201 (multivariable calculus), and an engineering course that has no counterpart in the existing curriculum. The engineering course will focus on key issues in modern engineering, including energy conversion and its environmental impact, robotic remote sensing, and multimedia and information transmission over wireless networks. It will involve a combination of lectures and hands-on projects."</p>

<p>Sounds pretty awesome though. I'm pretty sure I'm going to apply for it. It says they only take about 40 people.</p>
<p>UGH. I can't fit it into my list of planned courses...</p>
<p>Wow... niiiiiice. I absolutely would have taken that as a freshman if it were available, but that course sequence was merely a spark in someone's imagination at that time.</p>

<p>(Must... update... Frosh... Help...)</p>
<p>but you need placement in math to be eligible for it right? in that case, its a no-no for me :(</p>
<p>Yeah you need up through BC Calc (or equivalent)</p>
<p>no physics?</p>
<p>Physics is integrated into the course; it's not really a prereq, though I think it's reccommended. Even though I've had physics I almost think taking this course with the engineering/applications would be worth maybe relearning a bit of physics. Especially since physics is pretty hardcore. :)</p>
