| ENGR 1381 - Engineering Analysis and Design I | |
|---|---|
| Introduces students to the engineering design process utilizing a competitive design project. Small groups of students conceive, design, build and test a structure or device to best achieve specified performance criteria. Emphasis is placed on Computer Aided Design (CAD). Supporting topics include sketching, construction and testing techniques, measurement concepts, data analysis and communication. | |
| ENGR 1382 - Engineering Analysis and Design II | |
| Continues the introduction to engineering design with another interactive team-oriented design project. Emphasis is placed on numerical analysis using computational software. Supporting topics include programming mathematical models of physical systems, and data gathering, analysis and presentation. (Read about the current project.) | |
| ENGR 2181 - Engineering Design III | |
| Builds on the students' background in solid mechanics with the introduction of a competitive mechanical design project. Engineering economics is introduced in support of the project. Other supporting topics include mathematical modeling, sensitivity and uncertainty analysis and statistical concepts. Oral and Written reports are required. | |
| ENGR 2182 - Engineering Design IV | |
| Continues the development of student's prediction, decision-making and optimization skills with a project oriented to the statistical design of multivariable industrial systems. Supporting topics include engineering modeling, problem solving and industrial design of experiments with related mathematical statistics. Oral and written reports are required. | |
| ENGR 3181 - Engineering Design V | |
| Builds on the students' background in electrical engineering with emphasis on the design of a system that may employ circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, component tolerances, specification and performance standards. Oral and written reports are required. | |
| ENGR 3182 - Engineering Design VI | |
| Builds on the students' background in thermodynamics/fluids with the introduction of a competitive thermal-fluids design project. Supporting topics include thermal-fluids measurements and computerized data acquisition, analysis and visualization. Oral and written reports are required. | |
| ENGR 4381 - Engineering Design VII | |
| A capstone design experience with small groups of students, each group advised by a designated engineering faculty member. The establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, safety, aesthetics and preliminary design of a different project for each group. Robust product design considerations. Formal written and oral presentations. (Read about the current projects.) | |
| ENGR 4382 - Engineering Design VIII | |
| The capstone experience continued covering final design, construction, testing and evaluation of the projects started in ENGR 4381. Life cycle testing and reliability. Formal final written report and presentations open to the public. (Read about the current projects.) | |
