Course Learning Outcomes:

1. Work effectively as a team, Students should delegate tasks, manage their time, work with formal project planning, work as effective team leaders and members, support and learn from each other.; please refer to your course syllabus in the meantime.
2. Develop an engineering design project that meets a need for (a) stakeholder(s) This project should attempt to solve problems for a client (real or hypothetical), for the inventors, as an entrepreneur, or for society/the planet.
3. Use engineering and scientific/physics knowledge to quantitatively specify and design a device, process or system to solve the desired problem.
4. Give supportive, constructive and considerate feedback to teammates and peers through project review and teamwork.
5. Effectively document project progress through working documents and meetings (lab notebook, progress reports, team meetings).
6. Communicate project goals, design, results and prospects in formal written reports, visual and oral presentations.
7. Research background, alternatives, safety protocols, government regulations, and industry standards so that the chosen project meets needs, works effectively, and can be deployed.
8. Use technical, scientific and engineering tools (hardware, software) to draw, calculate, model, design, simulate, fabricate, modify, characterize and/or test the desired process/device/system.
9. Independently or as a team acquire new knowledge and skills to support the goals of the team and project.
10. Assess on an ongoing basis the trajectory/development of the project and to re-evaluate and iterate the design and techniques to achieve their originally desired outcome.
11. Adhere to all appropriate health and safety protocols. This includes those personal requirements in any lab/work environment as well as appropriate safety assessment and mitigation within the design project.
12. Consider and incorporate economic, ethical, equity and environmental issues through the whole design process. Demonstrate knowledge of professional accountability in engineering.
13. Carry out the construction/programming and/or prototyping of your system, device or process using or developing tools, expertise and supplies as required.
14. Critically evaluate and quantitatively test the success or failure of your project, and correct as necessary.
