Abstract :
Engineering Design and Graphics 100 (ED&G 100) is a project-based introduction to engineering design course for all freshman baccalaureate engineering students at the Altoona College of the Pennsylvania State University. In this three credit-hour course, an engineering approach to problem solving is taught with an emphasis on team work, communication, creativity, ingenuity, and computer aided-design tools. This paper presents a description of the engineering design component of ED&G 100 course.
