The Introduction to Engineering Design course (ED&G 100) introduces students to the process skills associated with engineering design. Emphasis is on team work, communications skills, and computer-aided analytical tools. These skills, along with strong references to basic science and math skills, comprise the engineering approach to problem-solving.

Prototype building and testing with industrial collaboration are also integral parts of the design experience. The honors section of this course often involves students working collaboratively in international teams.
