Course Goals / Objectives:
Student will understand design as a process.
Students will apply core engineering skills to the design process.
Students will appreciate the challenges and complexity of the design process.
Students will appreciate design as a process for taking an idea or need from concept to realization of a deliverable (component, system, process).
GE Refl Bookend LO: Engaged Citizenship and Intercultural Competency: Students consider public health, safety, welfare, global, cultural, social, environmental, & econ factors in applying eng design to produce solutions meeting specified needs.
GE Refl Bookend LO: Personal and Professional Development: Students individually assess and pursue personal professional growth in concert with project requirements and personal career goals.
GE Refl Bookend LO: Cultivate Engineering Mindset: Students develop an engineering mindset that demonstrates constant curiosity, makes connections between disparate bodies of information, and seeks opportunities to create value.
