Course Information

Description

Practicing engineers are often confronted with ill-defined, open-ended challenges. In this course, you will learn and apply an engineering design framework to reframe these challenges into tractable engineering problems. Working individually and in teams, you will use quantitative design tools to inform design decisions. You will evaluate potential solutions using rigorous engineering analysis and quantitative modeling and simulation. You will develop the skills to clearly and concisely communicate your design thinking to multiple stakeholders.
