| Course Description | This course will cover all of the elements of the design process that are relevant to engineering projects. The various stages of the design process will be discussed including problem identification, concept generation, concept selection and design embodiment. Fundamentals of good design practices will also be covered including aesthetics, ergonomics and safety. The course also includes effective team work practices and project management. An essential aspect of engineering design is effective communication. Therefore the course provides written and spoken language development in the context of academic and professional engineering. Class work is designed to develop the capacity of students for effective communication relevant to their current studies and intended professional careers. Areas covered include logical cohesion, writing a research paper, integrating evidence and the effective presentation of individual and group seminars.
