ENGT 291 Design, Build, Test, Repeat

5 credits

A collaborative, multi-disciplinary, hands-on exploration and use of varying methods of part, mechanism, and product build, analysis, and testing. Focus will be on proving/disproving/improving functional design for use. The positive and negative aspects of Engineering Failure will be explored. Scientific and practical methods will be applied to a range of part, mechanism, and product designs.

Prerequisites: ENGT 123, ENGT 141, ENGT 225, and MACH 108

Corequisites: ENGT 211 and ENGT 226

Quarters Offered: Cohort 1: Fall; Cohort 2: Spring
