Ran in 0 of the last 7 terms. Winter 2027: scheduled, 2 lecture sections. Spring 2027: schedule not out yet.
In this course, students will continue to learn about engineering design processes, engineering professionalism, and project management, while participating in a team-based design project. Student teams will apply an iterative, human-centered design process and systems perspective to understand, represent, and identify possible targets for design interventions, develop appropriate design specifications, ideate and prototype possible solutions, and evaluate solutions through verification and validation. The emphasis is on ideation, prototyping, and testing building upon the introductory content and needs assessment and synthesis from SYDE 161.
