Engineering Design

656   Engineering Design no level 10, 11, 12 TERM 3 credits

This course was formerly titled Fundamentals of Engineering Design.

This course will introduce students to basic engineering design principles using a variety of experiences, projects, and assessments. Students will learn professional design methodology while gaining marketable skills using the various tools, equipment, and software that are required in engineering fields.

Individual students will work at their own pace using self-guided modules. The module topics include engineering design processes, technical sketching and drawing, Computer Assisted Design (CAD), technical measurement and statistical analysis, reverse engineering, and engineering design team skills.  Students will create fully engineered drawings using 3D CAD software (OnShape or Solidworks).  One of this courses' major emphasis is working in design teams.  Student lead teams will be designing parts and components in real time, working much like a shared Google Doc but with CAD software.  This allows the course to focus its time with team building exercises that are not dependent on whether the students are remote or in person. This course will meet the design requirement for the Engineering Certificate program.
