ENGT 103 Projects and Professional Practice

5 credits
This course is a project-based overview and provides exposure to the discipline of mechanical engineering. Emphasis is placed on creative development of ideas and projects. Students learn to think critically, solve problems, and iterate design solutions. Participating in a design team from need through design iteration and fabrication is the primary focus of this course.

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 102  

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  • Collaborate on the design of a prototype for a functioning part
  • Work in teams and individually to research, organize, and synthesize information from a variety of sources for a design project
  • Communicate design solutions through the use of sketching and modeling
  • Manage personal time to create sketches, 3D CAD digital models, and fabrication drawings
  • Create prototypes to be presented to the team for input
  • Demonstrate how to create input resources for automated fabrication tools

Program Outcomes
This course teaches to the following program outcome:

  • identify the elements and principles of mechanical design

Global Outcomes
