| ENGR 1620 | Introduction to Engineering (3.00) |
| Offered Fall 2013 | Provides an overview of the engineering profession and the disciplines and functions within engineering. Introduces students to engineering design, and the role of creativity in the solution of open-ended (design) problems. The conceptual understanding and skills needed to apply the engineering method are integrated into a significant, hands-on, case study project. This project, which is intended to be both fun and challenging, focuses on a realistic problem, requiring a balance of engineering analysis and the economic, cultural, political and other considerations needed to achieve a successful solution. In addition to the fundamental role of engineering analysis and optimization, students also develop computer skills using spreadsheet and math solver applications and apply these to engineering problem solving.

| ENGR 4010 | Multidisciplinary Design and Development I (3.00) |
| Offered Fall 2013 | A two-semester, multidisciplinary, capstone engineering design sequence; the primary objective of ENGR 4010/4020 is to provide students with a realistic and rigorous, culminating engineering design experience, which is reflective of contemporary professional practice. Key course attributes include the multidisciplinary composition of the engineering design teams (students and faculty from any department within SEAS, Commerce, Darden, Nursing, etc.), emphasis on aspects of modern practice (e.g. concurrent engineering, total quality management, and balanced consideration of the technological, organizational and cultural context) and realistic problems and client-stakeholders. A disciplined design/development process is followed that incorporates the important activities of contextual analysis, problem definition, customer needs definition, concept generation and selection, product specification, modeling and engineering analysis, proof of concept prototyping, design verification, cost analysis and project management and scheduling. Prerequisite: 4th year standing. |
