Engineering Design Portfolio

Catalog description

Positions in engineering design typically require a portfolio representing an applicant's best work. In preparation for this requirement, students in this course will develop the skills needed to design a portfolio that represents the depth and breadth of their engineering design training, by collecting, sorting, and sequencing visual information from relevant previous design experiences. The material will be presented through a series of Web-based modules. The objectives of this course include organizing a collection of graphics and text to effectively communicate engineering design experiences and development, summarizing both the depth and breadth of design experiences, analyzing and interpreting information for presentation to third party readers, and using modern engineering graphics and text communication methods to present information. Students will be evaluated on their ability to visually, textually, and sequentially present their design work in a design portfolio. The course will be taught once a semester as an online-course. The course is required for students pursuing the Engineering Design Certificate.
