may have the option of attending either lab time.

Corequisite:  ESG 300 -- Communication in Engineering

Course Description:

This course involves understanding the uses of mathematical methods 
and computer assisted design (CAD), simulation and analysis in 
engineering design.  To these ends we will review a number of topics 
basic to successful engineering design including:  modeling and 
simulation, optimization, materials selection, engineering economics, 
reliability theory, and engineering statistics.  Furthermore, we will 
review techniques for communicating and report writing, culminating in 
writing a design report and giving a short oral presentation at the end 
of the semester.


(Note:  The successful completion of this report and the associated oral 
presentation will be essential to receiving a satisfactory grade in ESG 300, 
the corequisite of this course. It will also be necessary to submit a final portfolio,
which will include HW, lab assignments and tests, in order to complete
course requirments.  This portfolio will be discussed more fully in class) 

Laboratories and some lectures will explore the many uses of computers in 
engineering design, simulation, analysis and prototyping for a variety of design types.  
Programs to be used include (but are not restricted to) AutoCAD (for CAD, 
detailed technical drawing and study of perspective),
Microsoft Excel (spreadsheets, finite element methods), finite element analysis
and software associated with a the college facility for rapid prototyping.  
All run in a Windows environment. 
 
No software may be copied or removed from the lab.  All instruction 
manuals, etc. will remain in the lab or be returned to the TA's.

Computers in the laboratory will be networked together and to the campus 
network.  Assignments and additional reading will be posted on the lab web 
page, and some laboratory assignments will involve use of shared files placed 
on the CAE laboratory computer network. 

Texts:

The Engineering Design Process, 2nd Edition, by A. Ertas and J. Jones 
(Wiley, 1996)
AutoCAD 2002 Tutorial: Volume 2  3D Modeling, by Randy H. Shih

Recommended (and on reserve):

Engineering Design:  A Materials and Processing Approach, 3rd edition, 
by G. Dieter (McGraw-Hill, 2000)

Additional texts on AutoCAD, etc. will be put on reserve in the engineering 
library or will be available for use in the computer laboratory 
during the semester as needed.


Grading:

2 tests (one around midterm time, one final):			40% of grade

Homeworks (4-6)
and lab work (4-5 projects):					35% of grade

Final project
	written:						20% of grade
	oral:							5% of grade

Total:								100%

Note:  Submission of portfolio of all assignments and tests will also be
required.
