Students will apply steps of the engineering design process to complete an assigned project or one of their own choosing. Students will comprehend engineering design is creative problem solving.
| Week 1 Module overview, engineering design process, product lifecycle and project management, design project assignment (option), class and lab procedures. |
Week 2 Determining needs (problem to be solved). Design criteria and constraints. |
Week 3 This is among the most creative steps. There are usuallly many ways to solve the design problem and inventing new solutions is rewarding. |
Week 4 Prototypes are models of the preferred design. Building high quality prototypes is expensive, so the designers need to use other methods to prove the design. |
Week 5 Students will understand the whys and hows product testing to ensure designs meet requirements. |
Week 6 Students will comprehend the importance of documenting the design so that someone can build and use the product. Documentation usually includes computer-aided drawings and various specifications. |
