ENGT 102 Introduction to Design Theory - Mechanical Design4 credits
This course is an overview of theoretical practices associated with design from a mechanical engineering perspective. Understanding the design process is the primary focus of this course. Students are introduced to basic design principles that determine the form and function of designs. The discovery process of how to take a design from a problem/need to a design solution will be explored. Assignments and exercises will incorporate sustainable practices, and student projects will employ management strategies.
Prerequisites: ABED 040 (or placement into MATH 087 or higher) and ABED 046 (or placement into ENGL 093 or higher)
Corequisites: ENGT 100 , ENGT 101 , and ENGT 103
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Develop a personal design process for addressing design problems
- Identify and incorporate 2D and 3D design principles and examine how they are used in various design solutions
- Critique the effectiveness of a design based on its form and function
- Manage personal time and team projects
- Further develop personal writing, source citing, and research skills
Program Outcomes
This course teaches to the following program outcomes:
- identify the elements and principles of mechanical design
- exhibit analytical thought, informed judgements, and ethical behavior
