Engineering Education
ENGE 1114 Exploration of Engineering Design (Workshop leader)
Builds on principles and practice of engineering design introduced in 1024 and introduces various discipline-specific engineering tools. Topics covered include: engineering design cycle; patent application and search; basic project management; written and oral communications; computer assisted design and analysis; the graphics language; working in a team environment. Requires successful completion of a team-based design project. For students planning to major in Aerospace, Biological Systems, Chemical, Civil and Environmental, Industrial systems, Materials Science, Mechanical, Mining and Minerals, and Ocean Engineering.
