Catalog Description

ME2110: Creative Decisions and Design is a hands-on course focused on design, prototyping, and testing of solutions to complex problems. Students work in teams to build autonomous robots for a competitive design challenge, applying principles of design thinking, prototyping, sensing and controls. The course emphasizes iterative development, system integration, and root cause analysis, supported by CAD modeling, technical report writing, and rapid prototyping. Students learn to plan experiments, analyze data, and communicate the value of design decisions under multiple constraints. The course builds creativity supported by technical rigor and teamwork skills to prepare students for Capstone and engineering practice.

Catalog Description
Seniors will work in teams to apply a systematic design process to real multi-disciplinary problems. Problems selected from a broad spectrum of interest areas, including biomedical, environmental, mechanical, industrial design, electrical and thermal/fluids. Projects must be based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work, and incorporate appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. Emphasis is placed on the design process, the technical aspects of the design, and on reducing the proposed design to practice. The course consists of faculty and guest lectures, prototyping in design studios, and a multi-disciplinary design project.
