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.

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.

This course is the third course in a four course design sequence. This
course is intended to prepare engineering students for the future challenges
of design. Design is presented as the integration of creativity, knowledge,
skills, collaboration and hard work to solve problems. Emphasis will be
on achieving design solutions that are high quality, innovative, low cost,
and produced quickly. The design process provides a structure in which
the various phases of design occur in a logical and efficient sequence
in order to arrive at the most successful outcome.
This course will present the best of traditional design practices as
well as several design tools. Creativity methods will be presented and
creativity encouraged in the course. Group design projects with oral presentations
are required as part of this course.
