ENDE-190 Introduction to Engineering Design (4 Credits)
This is an introduction to engineering design course where students will learn the process of human-centered design. Students will participate in a design project that requires engineering solutions but also includes elements outside of the traditional STEM framework. Students will be taught strategies to ensure that solutions meet the user\'s broad needs. A variety of basic skills will be introduced such as fabrication and computer modelling. Students will also explore pathways to engineering careers through guest speakers, and skills in resume writing and networking will also be developed.
ENDE-290 Experimentation and Design (4 Credits)
This is the second core project course for engineering students. It focuses on the interplay between the design process and experimental testing. The "project" for the course will be to imagine multiple designs in response to an engineering problem, and then test and rework those designs. In the process, the course will address all phases of the experimental process: designing a test, creating an experimental setup, building and calibrating sensors, taking data, analyzing data (including statistical analysis), iterating our design, and reporting our results. A significant focus of the course will be on written and oral communication. Prerequisite: ENDE-190 and PHYS-200
ENDE-390 Junior Design (4 Credits)
This is the third project course for engineering students, designed to be taken during the junior year and to serve as the preparation for the independent senior capstone projects in ENGR 490/491. The focus of the course will be performing the design process from a description of the problem through the evaluation of a proposed solution. While the topic of the course will vary according to faculty expertise and student interest, all sections of the course will stress professional engineering standards, the social impact of engineering solutions, and team management and leadership. Prerequisite: ENDE-290
ENDE-490 Senior Design I (2 Credits)
This course is part of the fourth Project course for engineering students. ENGR 490 is the first course in a two-semester sequence, which serves as the Senior Inquiry project for BSE students. The ENGR 490/491 sequence also fulfills the ABET degree requirement for "a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints." In this first part of the course, students will complete the exploratory part of the design process: researching related solutions, determining potential economic, environmental, and safety issues, determining product specifications and functions, performing a market analysis, conceiving of a concept product, and detailing your initial design. Prerequisite: ENDE-390
ENDE-491 Senior Design II (2 Credits)
This course is part of the fourth Project course for engineering students. ENGR 491 is the second course in a two-semester sequence, which serves as the Senior Inquiry project for BSE students. The ENGR 490/491 sequence also fulfills the ABET degree requirement for "a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints." In this second part of the course, students create a physical prototype, test the prototype, and iterate the design. The course concludes with a presentation in which you demonstrate the effectiveness of the design. The main deliverable for the course will be a detailed design paper that documents all aspects of the design process. Prerequisite: ENDE-490
