EGR 150 2 Credits
Engineering Design I with Graphics Return to top

Engineers must be able to communicate their design ideas to others. One of the goals of this first course in Engineering Design is to improve communication skills. These skills include written, oral presentation, computer applications, sketching, and CAD drawing. Software programs used include Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well as Mathcad.

Since our world is three-dimensional, some effort is made to imporve the spatial visualization ability of students. IN addition, the principles of orthographic projection and descriptive geometry are learned.

Students work in teams on a series of short-term projects with the goal of recognizing and developing behaviors associated with consensus decision-making and cooperative teamwork. The steps of engineering design processes are learned.

1 Class Hour, 3 Lab Hours

 

EGR 151 2 Credits
Engineering Design II Return to top

A continuation of Engineering Design I. The bulk of this course focuses on developing skill with a computer aided drawing (CAD) program to create and manipulate three dimensional solid models. Students continue working in teams on design projects with the goal of understanding and implementing the engineering design process for problem-solving. The area of engineering ethics is investigated to create in students a realization of the importance of responsible behavior in the engineering field.

1 Class Hour, 3 Lab Hours; Prerequisite: EGR 150 Engineering Design I.
