Description:
The introductory team design project introduces students to teamwork, project management, engineering design for a complex problem, technical writing and technical presentation in a team environment. Students work in teams and each team designs and builds a prototype defined by the Department. Students present their design and demonstrate that their design works in a competition at the end of the term. The students are also introduced to the basic principles of mechanics including the description of translational motion, rotational motion, forces and moments, work and energy, and they build a mechanical prototype to which the electronics and software are then added. A significant team project is required in this course.
