Course Description:
This course introduces students to various tools and problem-solving skills
common to most fields of engineering and technology. It emphasizes developing
both individual critical thinking and collaborative problem solving skills,
essential in today�s world of technology. Students learn the basics of the
engineering design process of product design, testing and evaluation. In teams,
students apply this process to complete a project that involves practical
problem-solving, computer simulation and product development. To assist in the
project analysis, documentation and presentation, students develop skills with
spreadsheets, word processing and presentation software.
