3.00 Credits
Introduction to the design process, engineering drawing concepts, and computer-aided drafting. In the area of design this course covers such topics as design methodology, project planning, quality function deployment, basic optimal design, material selection, engineering economics, and communication. Basic engineering drawing concepts are also covered along with computer applications such as solid modeling and computer drafting. Students are also required to complete a simple design and "build-it" project. One lecture hour, three-hour laboratory. Fall. Prerequisite: ENGS 116. (Cr. 3)
