It is meant to help students get a taste of engineering. The course is project-based and hands-on and will also have a design-and-prototyping component. Students will explore four concepts central to engineering: effort and flow-how power flows between interacting objects regardless of their domain; transduction-the bidirectional transformation of effort and flow from one domain to another; state-how systems remember the past; and the powerful idea of feedback-used in almost all engineered devices to bring about desired behavior despite undesired distur-banc es.
