ELEC 290 Electrical and Computer Engineering Design and Practice Units: 5.00
This course encompasses team-based design to solve complex open-ended problems. Instruction is provided on problem definition, creation of ideas, and decision making that considers technical, economic, societal, and environmental factors. Attention is given to safety considerations, technical codes and regulations, and engineering ethics. Effective skills for oral and written communication are also emphasized. These aspects are applied in design project activity related to electrical and computer engineering.
