Develops a holistic view of and initial competency in engineering design
by conceiving, designing, manufacturing and testing a system component such
as a complex structural part. Activities include hand sketching, CAD modeling,
CAE analysis, CAM programming and operation of CNC machining equipment. Requirements
compliance is verified in the laboratory via structural testing. Initial
designs are improved by means of multiobjective design optimization. The
focus is on the complementary roles of human creativity and computational
methods and tools as well as the design process itself. Designs are executed
by pairs of students who enter their products in a design competition. The
pedagogy is based on active learning and a balance of lectures and hands-on
activities. Enrollment may be limited.
