Introduction to Engineering Design
designing real engineering systems and discovering the impact engineers can have
[real projects]
term long design products for children at local schools
[human-centered design]
observations, interviews, empathy
[superpowers]
each team member gets a superpower
the power to create (CAD+3d printing), the power to control (arduinos, sensors, motors), the power to shape (working with foam), the power to build (woodworking)

Systems Engineering Concepts
applying systems thinking to improve the performance of complex systems
[solve the right problem]
part of solving a problem is making sure you understand the objectives of the system
[embrace error]
if you wait for perfect information, you will never do anything
[it depends]
trade-offs between values shape recommendations

Systems Integration
designing integrated systems that require interdisciplinary engineering knowledge and skills
[prototype to learn]
advancing a project through effective use of prototypes throughout a design process
[behavior, not tools]
adopting effective design behaviors that persist beyond the end of the class
[holistic]
keeping your eye on the system even when you are designing a component
[humans]
rich engagement of stakeholders as a key to innovative solutions

[models]
generating insights with data using statistics, design of experiments, optimization, and simulation
[meaning]
contextualizing statistical significance to inform decision significance
