Engineers change the world we live in every day by developing and improving nearly every aspect of our lives. In this course, we will study the interaction of technology and society and how the engineering design process helps shape the world we live in. Engineering comprises many disciplines, but one common theme is the engineering design process: research, problem definition, feasibility, conceptualization, prototyping, and testing. In this class, students will learn the engineering design process through application to contemporary technological and societal issues put into practice with pitch presentations, design reviews, prototypes, and written reports.
Students interested in continuing with the Engineering Nexus are strongly recommended to take the course.
