This course is a 4th year engineering design elective experience. What makes it distinct from other disciplinary design elective courses is that the students in GE 496.3 identify and develop their own design problems, or they help multidisciplinary design groups that are doing so. Students will identify and characterize a design problem, show that it is valid, and then proceed to design a solution to the design problem using engineering design methods or they will assist a design team of students from one or more other disciplines. This course is for those that seek a more entrepreneurial design experience as a design or technical elective. Weekly hours: 3 Lecture hoursPermission of the Home Department is required. Note: Students must obtain permission from both the course instructor and their home department prior to registering in this course. For engineering students, this course should only be taken in the final year of their program.
