Synopsis

This course introduces the student to some important engineering tools that will provide the basis for future work. The student will be introduced to the concept of a system and to the need for multidisciplinary teamwork in most engineering activities. Aspects of physical properties and conceptual designs are investigated and both these are applied to the analysis of complex real world projects. The course is presented as an initial introduction to problem based learning, and the use of virtual teamwork is emphasized throughout. All students are expected to contribute and to interact in a positive manner with other team members. This interaction is assessed. Students are expected to work both independently and as part of a team to provide solutions to projects which demonstrate use of appropriate technology and cultural sensitivity.
