ENES 100 Introduction to Engineering Design
Students are introduced to the engineering
design process by working in teams on multiple design projects. Students will
design and build a device, product, or system that satisfies specified
functional and performance requirements. The design projects involve a variety
of topics from multiple engineering disciplines, technology, and the sciences.
Students will apply concepts from mechanics, fluids, energy transfer,
thermodynamics, basic circuit theory, biology, and chemistry. Project tasks
will require students to learn a variety of engineering skills and tools,
including computer-aided design (CAD), basic electronics, data collection and
analysis, spreadsheets, lab bench automation software, and computer
programming.
Hours Weekly
2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab, 1 hour recitation weekly
Course Objectives
- 1. Describe the roles and responsibilities of engineers in society, reflect on the role of
engineered products and systems in serving humanity, and distinguish between different
engineering disciplines. - 2. Develop a plan to progress through one’s engineering education, using resources in the
college and broader engineering community.
- 3. Function effectively in teams to solve and present engineering problems.
- 4. Apply a structured design process to develop a component, system, or process according to
specified requirements using concepts of creativity and invention.
- 5. Apply engineering ethics to realistic scenarios.
- 6. Communicate technical material to a broad audience, via both oral and written modes.
- 7. Solve engineering problems in the context of a design process by applying innovative
thought, scientific principles, analytical skills, and software tools.
