Engineered devices typically lend themselves to insightful description and explanation without involving all the detailed engineering science and mathematics that go into their development. The main agenda of this course is a series of six "how-things-work" modules, covering 1) automotive components and systems; 2) airplanes and flight mechanics; 3) power generation; 4) manufacturing machinery and processes; 5) heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration; and 6) rockets, satellites, and orbital mechanics. An on-campus laboratory demonstration or near-campus facility tour associated with each of these topical modules is included. This course also incorporates case-study-based open forum discussions on professional ethics. Prereq: Passing letter grade in a 100 level first year seminar in USFS, FSNA, FSCC, FSSO, FSSY or FSCS.
