First Year Seminar 191ENG19 - FYS-Women's Health Device Des

This course is all about students developing design solutions for a medical device to aid a common women's health medical problem. This course will include tutorials on Computer Aided Design (CAD), Additive Manufacturing, and design. The class will provide students with a unique perspective where they will apply basic engineering concepts to a real world problem early on in their university career instead of focusing exclusively on engineering theory. This course also has subtle DEI implications- design is inherently an empathetic process so this class will encourage male engineers to become better allies for their women peers via course content and group discussions.

Open to first- year students in the Engineering Majors RAP in Kennedy. First year (Fr or Soph)
