Jody S. Robinson, PE

 

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.
