Fundamentals of Engineering Design. 2 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Pre or Corequisites: ENGL 101 and ( MATH 110 or MATH 111 ). This course introduces fundamental concepts of engineering and the tools used for the design and implementation of devices and systems. Teams of students work on open-ended engineering projects. Sections are offered to represent an introduction to real-world engineering design problems. Topics covered include introduction to basic engineering design elements, processes, measurements, product and project design and development, with hands-on experiments in multidisciplinary areas. Students also learn to use engineering tools for computer-aided design and simulation. Technical writing and oral presentation along with project management skills are emphasized.
