ENES 100 Introduction to Engineering Design is a project-based course that requires students to work in teams to develop a complex and multidisciplinary product. This course provides the new engineering student with roadmap to become a professional engineer. This is achieved through the planning, investigation, design, manufacturing, assembly, and evaluation of a product.  These functions are achieved within the context of a team. You will model an engineering design, using basic math & science principles to accurately predict the behavior of the system. Using these predictions, you will iteratively improve the design selections for real-world applications. You will create a prototype of your design and develop testing methods to verify the expected functions. You will troubleshoot and assess the performance of the prototype, interpreting the behavior and relating the observations back to design decisions. You will be assigned to a team, which provides a framework for equitable logistical coordination and effective communication – by written, verbal, and visual modalities. You will also gain project management skills such as separating a complex project into manageable parts, governing a diverse project team with equity , and using effective tools to ensure the project meets its deliverables and progresses within budget and on schedule.
