Engineering 2

Engineering 2 students will build upon and apply the design process introduced in year 1 through larger sustained engineering projects.  They will begin to apply scientific, technical, and mathematical content to their designs, consider the implications of control systems on design solutions, and evaluate design solutions against decision matrices considering elements such as material properties, energy and resource usage, and manufacturing processes.  Sustainable design will be introduced by considering economic, environmental, and social criteria and constraints. Students will also apply the technical skills introduced in year 1 to their design solutions, such as: technical drawing and writing, CAD design, computer programming, measurement, and statistical analysis.  Throughout this course students will create more refined, detailed, and accurate products and will demonstrate the interconnectedness of these skills through their portfolio documentation.
