ENGR 346 - Engineering Design Laboratory

(1 semester hour)
Prerequisites: ADMA 240 and PHYS 121-PHYS 122 or PHYS 330
Corequisite: ENGR 345
Description: The student expands design-process skills gained through the co-requisite course ENGR 345 for completing weekly design-laboratory experiments using CAD and 3D printing features. The student will also employ basic erector kits, including bridges, simple machines, and other mechanical structures. The student uses data loggers to load cells and measure the tension and compression forces within the systems. This course provides the necessary hands-on experience to complete undergraduate experiential learning projects and gain skills required by an engineering, problem-solving work environment. Three hours of lecture, three hours of laboratory per week. Offered Spring semester annually, or as needed.
