Liberal arts and engineering design courses have a synergistic effect of the development of creative and critical thinking skills, oral, and written communication skills, interpersonal and leadership skills, and a quest for life-long learning. Our design sequence provides our students with a wonderful opportunity to consider the moral, ethical, economical, environmental, societal, and geo-political impact of engineering design decisions. Engineering Science graduates are well prepared for challenging positions in engineering practice, graduate study and for lives as innovative thinkers and

Whereas strategic directed scientific research that is often necessary to gain a better understanding of physical phenomena is frequently required during the purposeful, systematic technology development process, scientific research is not the primary driver. Creative engineering practice requires proactive responsible leadership beginning with the identification of meaningful real-world needs. During the creative technology development process, however

During the first semester some limited laboratory andmaterial resources are also made available so students may experiment with unfamiliardevices or systems to better understand their applicability to their project. At the end ofthe first semester, each student team produces a design document that includes acomplete conceptual description of their project, a proposed timetable for completion, alist of resources and sections that addresses any potential safety, ethics or ecologicalissues
