Course objectives Somerville
Introduction to Engineering is designed to allow students
to explore engineering through hands-on design projects.
Students learn about various aspects of the engineering
profession and acquire both technical skills and non-
technical skills, in areas such as communication, teamwork, and engineering ethics. Students would
learn about human factors as well as design factors within an overall process and including product life
cycle stages.

By designing and implementing an actual engineering project, students will be exposed to many ideas
and principals. Students will form teams of 2-3 and choose projects which excite them – and
importantly, projects that have a good purpose. Successfully completing the project is not required; this
provides the opportunity to deeply understand and analyze different technical and non-technical
aspects of the project.

The theory is an important part of the projects. The actual goal of the projects is to prove or disprove a
theory by gathering supporting data by creating proper tests and analyzing why or why not the expected
outcome was achieved.

It is highly recommended to create a diverse team so students would get a good sense of the different
engineering fields and how they overlap. Students will understand the importance of teamwork and
leadership. They would learn to understand the concept of project management by experiencing the
importance of organizational skills and time management skills while keeping track of the budget. They
would create PERT and Gantt charts.
Throughout the course, students will be reminded to check for engineering ethics.

Students would be able to have several mini-presentations and draft reports opportunities before
submitting their final ones. As a class, students would do peer evaluations by providing constructive
feedback.

Course Requirement:
Begin this course with an open mind.
