EGR297A — Principles of Engineer Design
This course serves as an introduction to the principles of engineering design as a foundation for subsequent engineering design courses. Emphasis is placed on the engineering design process focusing on problem definition, specifications, generation of ideas, design, analysis and prototype development and communication. Laboratory work focus is on prototype development using modeling software, relevant material design and creation, and the refinement and redesign of a product. Various analytical methods and instrumentation required for the development of a specific prototype will be introduced.
