Engineering Design I

This is the first course in a sequence of engineering design classes at SNHU. In this course you will be introduced to a process engineers use when solving problems and creating and/or improving designs. Students will gain appreciation of traits effective engineers share. This project based course gives students the ability to understand, contextualize, analyze, and communicate engineering designs and systems. By learning and applying creative design thinking and the scientific method, students will more effectively solve problems in any domain. This course develops students' skills to conceive, organize, lead, implement, and evaluate successful projects in any engineering discipline. Students will work individually and in groups and learn how to manage collaborative efforts effectively. Additionally, students learn how to give presentations, document, and present data, process, and reports. Engineering tools and skills such as engineering graphics, sketching techniques, designing experiments as well as introduction to discipline specific tools and machine shop will be applied. This freshmen course is open to all majors.
