Course Outcomes:
Upon course completion, a student will be able to:

Describe the engineering design procedures.
Apply the principles of engineering graphics to create engineering sketches.
Design and assemble a machine or a structure to perform a specific task in a team effort.
Apply the basic laws of physics to the design project.
Translate the design equation into a computer spreadsheet (Excel) and perform a graphic analysis.
Select the most cost effective design solution which can be completed within the time constraint.
Demonstrate knowledge of the operation of a parametric computer-aided design system (Pro/Engineer) and use it to create parts. assemblies, and drawings.
Prepare a design report using a word processor (Word) and present the design project using a presentation tool (PowerPoint).
