Objectives of the Course To enable students to employ engineering and scientific concepts in the solution of design problems. Students will be able to develop problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge of research and design to create solutions to various challenges causing difficulties throughout the design process. Students will also learn how to document their work, and communicate their solutions to their peers and members of the professional community.
Course Content The major focus of this course is to expose students to design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, global and human impacts, engineering standards, and technical documentation. This course gives students the opportunity to develop skills and understanding of course concepts through activity, project and problem-based learning.
