Technical Solutions Design Project

Catalog description

The Technical Solutions Design Project offers students an intensive, semester-long, project-based experiential learning opportunity conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Experiences are driven by a design idea or technical problem resolution to create and complete a functional product or project which includes real-world constraints and considers industry standards and codes. Students work independently on a design or technical problem resolution or in project teams to apply acquired discipline-specific skills and knowledge, develop leadership and collaborative abilities and refine critical thinking, problem solving skills and project management skills. Students submit their work for regular phase reviews on specific time schedules to monitor project progress, quality and functionality. This course is one of several options in the College of Engineering & Design for students to fulfill their experiential education requirements.
