3 Credit(s)

Prerequisites: MATH 109.
This course introduces the student to the engineering design process on a beginning level. Emphasis is placed on the structure of the design process involving problem definition, development of alternatives, analysis, decision making and iteration. One guided design project and one independent project are completed by student project teams. Concurrent lectures and homework assignments develop skills in data management, mechanics, chemistry, electrical theory, energy and economics. Personal computer usage is emphasized for mathematical calculations and the preparation of engineering reports.
