Learner goals and capabilities

APSC 202 and APSC 293 are paired courses taken together concurrently, with integrated curriculum and assessed “deliverables”. In APSC 202, students will participate constructively in teams to create solutions to open-ended complex problems, using widely accepted design methods and tools. This project-based course provides instruction throughout the semester focusing on problem scoping, creativity and idea generation, decision making incorporating technical, economic, societal, and environmental factors, safety, engineering codes and regulations, and engineering ethics, diversity and inclusion.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Student teams will submit a final report that outlines the engineering design process they used in the course and how their final design recommendation provides a solution to their complex problem.
