This course is an introductory exploration of the engineering design process through a “hands-on” project approach supported by instruction of the underlying engineering concepts. Appropriate computer-based modeling software will be employed in the design process. Since proper communication of an engineer’s results is critical, there is an emphasis on technical communication. Working in teams, you will document the engineering design process and communicate your solutions to other students and members of the professional community, both orally and in writing via prose, diagrams, or technical drawings.
