2.5 credits

This half-year elective is a project based course, which exposes students to the fundamentals of engineering and the engineering design process. Students will develop their ability to apply technical understanding to solve real-world problems and design solutions. Students will define a problem to be solved, gather information about customer needs, brainstorm ideas, decide on an idea to pursue versus established success criteria, build and improve prototypes, and recommend a course of action for their products, such as bringing to market or patenting. This course focuses on the process of engineering and introduces students to Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
