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).
Students develop key professional and project management related skills and understand their relationship to the design process.
Students appreciate design as the culminating ability and skill arising from their studies.
GERefl - Engag Citizens & Intercultr Comp: Students consider public health, safety, and welfare as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors in applying engineering design to produce solutions meeting specified needs.
GERefl - Personal and Professional Development: Students individually assess and pursue personal professional growth in concert with project requirements and personal career goals.
GERefl - 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.
