I took a class called Intro to Engineering Design a few years back at Penn State. It was sort of like a CAD class. I managed to pull an F in this class due to circumstances outside my control. My question is would this class count as other science or non science since there wasn't any actual engineering being taught. This is the class description.
Thanks for your opinions.

Introduction to Engineering Design (3) Introduction to engineering design processes, methods, and decision making using team design projects; design communication methods including graphical, verbal, and written.
 
department is listed as engineering design, course code is EDGSN 100. There is a separate department for actual engineering classes.

You can probably designate it as non science

Sounds like non-science to me. Could easily fall into that category with statistics, computer science, etc. I doubt it would be an issue. Label it as non-science, and if they change on verification then you'll know for sure, but I doubt that would happen.

I would definitely list as non-science but being fully aware that aacomas may change that.
