Dr. Meiring

Welcome to Engineering 3!  This course builds on students’ previous engineering and design courses by providing an opportunity via an independent capstone project to engage fully with the engineering design process:

​

• recognizing the need for an engineering solution to a problem

• researching the problem to identify needs, constraints and competition (existing solutions / patents)

• generate ideas for solutions that account for engineering, ethical and business considerations

• develop a prototype of the solution

• create and carry out a test plan to evaluate the solution

• communicate about that solution’s results

 

Students will also be required to work professionally and collaboratively in this endeavor. In this process and through case studies, students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of ethical and business considerations in addition to the engineering issues at hand. This course also provides opportunities for students to gain college- and career-related experience via researching college requirements specific to engineering programs of study, researching job requirements for recent engineering graduates, and participating in job shadows at local engineering firms.

We will be using Canvas for day-to-day work (announcements, assignments, calendar, etc...) - it is linked below along with other resources as needed.
