EPADS II (Engineering Practice and Design Studio)
This course
is divided into two parts. In the first part, students create
engineering teams and undertake a substantial client-based design project in
order to learn the design process through direct experience. Students
learn about project specifications (customer needs), creative idea
formation, conceptual design, analysis, detailed design, documentation,
manufacturing, and testing. Throughout the project, students practice
skills for written, oral and graphical communication with their teammates
and with the project customer. Concurrent with this is a second part
involving the machine shop. Here, students practice a variety of
manufacturing processes such as welding, brazing, turning, milling, and
grinding, and in so doing, complete a small project.
Prerequisite:
EGR100 or mechanical drawing experience.
