Our goals for this course are that students will:
·
experience some sense of
what engineering designers do;
·
develop an understanding
of design as a process;
·
hone your ability
to work on a design team;
·
enhance your
engineering "feel" and judgement;
·
reflect on the
importance of ethics and societal considerations in the practice of engineering
design ; and
·
reinforce and strengthen
your interest in becoming an engineer!!
