ENGR 196 - Introduction to Engineering

1. Use CAD software such as Pro/Engineer to create a solid model of an object.
2. Use CAD software to extract two-dimensional engineering drawings from a solid model.
3. Use design software such as Multisim or PSpice to model electrical circuits.
4. Construct simple electrical circuits in an electrical hardware laboratory.
5. Write short project reports according to specified instructions.
6. Work in groups to complete classroom exercises, laboratories and project work.
7. Operate as a member of a team with an understanding of the roles and relationships of team members.
8. Apply theory to explain the operation of a real world device.
9. Build an engineering device and make modifications to achieve a desired outcome.
10. Test a design and make necessary changes to improve performance.
