Engineering Design Studio I

Catalog description

Cross-disciplinary teams learn in a studio environment to consider broad aspects and context of engineering design activities. EDSGN 581 Engineering Design Studio I (3) Students examine engineering design from a broad perspective, including design thinking, systems design, and societal contexts. Students bring together many disparate aspects of their previous engineering and non-engineering experiences and investigate new aspects. The material will be presented through a variety of hands-on activities including design projects. Current and best industry practices will also be examined. This course provides a unique opportunity to explore material from many engineering fields and other disciplines within the context of design. This course is a precursor to Engineering Design Studio II (i.e., EDSGN 582). The course will be taught using a studio model.
