If there are any violations, teams were asked to develop a system expansion plan(additional transmission lines) that would eliminate the violations and propose a finaltransmission system with no violations. Teams were also asked to write a formal reportexplaining team’s findings about the original system, the approach they used in solving anyviolation, and the final recommended system with its cost implications.Design Project 2.

Freshmen in engineering schools must come aboardthe “speeding train of runaway information overload” and be able to sort out what is andwhat is not relevant. They must be able to work in multi-disciplinary teams and be ableto present their activities to peers as well as supervisors. To this end PolytechnicUniversity teaches EG1004, Introduction to Engineering and Design, that providesfreshman students with an overall perspective on engineering, and useful tools and workmethods that will be of great utility to the students in the years to come.II.

Therefore, in the code, the user is asked how many terms they want to use tomake the calculation (e.g., 500), and the code will generate the output using the number of termsthe user provided as input (for 500 terms, the output is 3.14002068). Similarly, in module 5, for-loops, the student must write code that calculates the factorial of a number (they cannot use thefactorial function pre-defined in MATLAB; these series in module 6 are more complex becauseof the use of nested loops. The other kind of problem is patterns. In this area, students are askedto create different shapes
