APSC 202 Engineering Design and Practice II: Client-Based Design Units: 4.30
In this course students will participate constructively on teams to create solutions to client-based open-ended design problems using standard design methods and tools. This project-based course provides instruction on problem scoping, creativity and idea generation, decision making incorporating technical, economic, societal, and environmental factors, safety, engineering codes and regulations, and engineering ethics. Students work in teams to define problems, gather and identify appropriate information, work effectively with teammates, generate ideas, select ideas, and implement a solution to a presented problem from a client. This course is integrated with APSC 293, and taught by the same instructor.

Course Learning Outcomes:
- Apply information research, assessment, and management concepts in engineering design.
- Design creative solution(s) for open-ended, complex problems, applying engineering principles and theories from other disciplinary courses where applicable, to generate a solution to a practical problem provided by a client.
- Apply design processes and tools for problem definition, idea generation and decision making.
- Make design decisions using financial factors, environmental factors, social factors, and public interests.
- Consider equity, diversity, inclusion, and indigenization during the design process.
- Incorporate the core principles of project management into the development of design solutions (including objectives, scheduling, work breakdown, milestones, and client meetings) to plan, implement and deliver a client project.
- Discuss engineering as a regulated profession, and the roles of an engineer and their responsibility and impact on society.
- Discuss professional/technical associations in engineering and discipline including reference to relevant engineering regulations/codes/standards, ethics, equity, health, and safety.
- Discuss the role of ethics in a project with reference to real world engineering applications.
- Demonstrate effective teaming skills to work harmoniously with different learning styles and personalities.
- Demonstrate ability to identify and to address personal educational needs.
- Use math and science, and engineering science principles to simulate, analyze, and model real world problems.
