ENGIN 10
Engineering Design and Analysis
This is a is an introduction to the profession of engineering and its different disciplines through a variety of individual design and analysis projects. Hands on creativity,teamwork, and effective communication are emphasized. Common lecture sessions address the essence of engineering design, the practice of engineering analysis, the societal context for engineering projects and the ethics of the engineering profession. Students develop design and analysis skills, and practice applying these skills to illustrative problems drawn from various mechanical engineering topics such as material testing,aerodynamics, controls and design.
