ENGN 250 - Introduction to Engineering Design

Credits: 4
Planned Offering: Spring

Prerequisite: PHYS 112. This course introduces students to the principles of engineering design through first-hand experience with a design project that culminates in a design competition. In this project-based course, the students gain an understanding of computer-aided drafting, machining techniques, construction methods, design criteria, progress- and final-report writing, and group presentations. Students are engaged using various methods, including traditional lectures, seminars, apprenticing, group work, and peer critiquing in order to achieve the learning objectives for the class. Kuehner.
