ENGN 3710

Building on previous design courses, this is the first of a series of upper-year design courses which simulate the practice of a professional engineer. Professional and technical skills are developed through problem-, activity-, and project-based learning. Teams work with industry partners to develop innovative and sustainable solutions to meet their engineering challenges. Following a design-build-test approach and best practices in project management and sustainability, teams develop detailed project proposals, conceptual designs, and proofs of concepts within the ethical and safety considerations that are fundamental to the profession. Concepts are further developed into operational prototypes in ENGN 3720. Six lecture hours and six hours of design studio per week.
