Project Summary
Introduction to Design and Engineering Applications (EGT 1110) is an open-ended problem design challenge for engineering students. Using a process called Design Thinking, students collaborate to identify and solve their own problem. They engage with community stakeholders to validate their problem,
brainstorm solutions, and validate their design concepts using calculations, testing, stakeholder feedback, and authoritative research.
