Weno longer need electrical and computer technicians from Engineering Technical Services.However, we still need to have a TA, or a graduate student chosen by the instructor who is goodat electronics hardware and programming. We have successfully designed a few projects that aretruly multi-disciplinary, for example, a 3D printer, a rotor craft UAV, and a special purpose labfurnace.

ProjectsAbstractIn this paper, the use of impromptu design as a tool for introducing the engineering designprocess is discussed. In a typical impromptu design exercise, a simple design problem, capableof being completed in a short amount of time, is solved by teams of engineering students. Insolving the design task, the students organically progress through the engineering design process.This provides a unique opportunity to introduce beginning engineering students to the designprocess and to reinforce engineering design concepts for more senior students. This paperfocuses on the development of impromptu design projects, the use of this activity to introducethe engineering design process, and thoughts and observations gained over three years of usingthis
