Goals: Our mission in MEEG 101 is to make students so excited about mechanical engineering that they will enthusiastically master the knowledge and skills needed to be successful. The course concentrates on three major areas: the ME profession, engineering design projects, and modeling skills. One major goal of the course is to give students a foundation and experience with performing engineering design.
Topics:
1. Self-Regulation - Develop and exhibit the behaviors associated with
taking personal responsibility for time management, learning new
material,
goal-setting, etc.
2. Communication - Demonstrate the fundamentals of organizing and
presenting
technical work.
3. Teamwork - Demonstrate the ability to perform technical work and
resolve conflicts in teams.
4. Problem Solving - Develop and demonstrate the behaviors of effective
problem solvers.
5. Modeling - Create representations of artifacts and processes,
graphically
and computationally.
6. Quality - Demonstrate a working knowledge of the role of the
customer
in defining quality, and the ability to meet customer-defined
specifications.
7. Mechanical Engineering - Demonstrate comprehension of the
engineering
method as the strategy for causing the best change in an uncertain
situation
within the available resources, and awareness of the subdisciplines and
applicable career paths of ME.
