This course is part one of a two-part senior design course.
the primary objective of senior engineering design course is to expose
the student to a real-world design or analysis experience. Students work
in groups on a project directed by a practicing Professional Engineer or
by a Civil Engineering Faculty Member. Secondary goals are to improve written
and oral presentation skills, review engineering ethics, and learn more
about engineering design.
Textbook: To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design (Paperback) by
Henry Petroski. The bookstore is getting copies and it is available on Amazon for less than $4 a copy. Note that if you get together with friends the postage (which costs as much as the book) will be reduced.

Schedule |
January 20 |
Introduce instructor to design teams and projects.
Turn in posters and final powerpoints from last semester.
School and multipurpose center.
a) break into six total groups of about 5 members each
b) brainstorm realistic end of semester goals for each group that
provide useful value for clients
(do this with entire class since both projects are similar)
c) determine how the set of goals can be broken up for smaller groups;
do we have an executive group for each project?
d) what is the final deliverable for the customers?
e) what will be presented at the end of the semester?
Turn in group goals and strategies prior to leaving class (draft).
Include names and numbers of all group members.
|
January 27 |
Each group will turn in a project summary.
The summary has: names of all students in the group, the overall
goals and scope of the project, a list or table of individual tasks,
and final project deliverables. Every option considered in the designs
must be compared with one or more alternative options based upon
cost/benefit analysis.
We will have short presentations. One person from each group (group
order and student to present both chosen at random) will explain
the goals, schedule, and deliverables for each group in
an 8 minute powerpoint presentation. The good and bad aspects of
each presentation will be discussed by the class. |

Presentation 1: Engineering Ethics Examples:
Each group will make a 12 minute presentation covering at least
two engineering
ethics examples. Pick examples from any two years. Except by
permission each group must pick in the order of Group A - Case 1's;
Group B - Case 2's, etc. Note that in some listings the first number
is the year, the number after the dash is what we refer to here.
Everyone in group must speak.

Group quiz on oral presentation rubric and
PowerPoint rubric.
Each group is required to make a web page describing their project.
The web page should explain the project and introduce the team members.
The site does not have to be elaborate or long. UTEP and many private
companies supply free web space. During the class we will have project
web page walk through's. A random person in each group will be selected
to quickly demonstrate the page.
