Scope
This course challenges students to solve a complex engineering problem in teams. The design problems will be open-ended in nature and involve the application of math, science, and engineering principles acquired in previous coursework. The students will be assigned to a team and project, and use an iterative design process to define the problem, analyze alternatives, and select the best alternative to solve the problem. Teams will communicate their recommendation for a design solution and determine the applicable standards associated with their problem. Work on this problem will continue in the next course: CE494.
