ENGN 1000 - Projects in Engineering Design

Spring 2012

Time:	Thursday 4:00 - 6:20 pm
Location:	B&H 163
Instructors:	Kipp Bradford (B&H 447)
	Christopher Bull (Prince Lab 207)
TA:
Hours:

Projects in design for concentrators in chemical, electrical, materials, and mechanical engineering.

Students work in teams on projects that are defined through discussions with the instructor. A new product or system that optimally satisfies a set of engineering criteria is the goal of the semester’s effort. Students will establish initial requirements before iterating through a multi-step design process including research, conceptualization, feasibility assessment, analysis, construction, testing, and evaluation.

Design of robotic systems, mechatronics, and automated systems will be emphasized by the instructor.

Prerequisite: completion of engineering core program. Enrollment limited to 40.

Course Summary

Engin1000 is a capstone design class which presents concepts of the design process, and strengthens students theoretical engineering abilities by introducing project requirements and real-world constraints. Students will gain first-hand experience with the design process while using engineering skills to solve technical challenges in their projects.
