Engineering Design Process
Empathize |
Develop a deep understanding of the challenge |
Define |
Clearly articulate the problem (goals and criteria |
Ideate |
Brainstorm potential solutions, select and develop solutio |
Prototype |
Design prototype(s) to test all or part of your solutio |
Test |
Engage in shortcycle test process to refine and improve solutio |
Implement |
Deliver a compelling experience to the user |
Constraints:
- Money and Time – almost always
- Materials
- Vendors
- Environmental factors
Criteria:
- Specification design must meet to be successful
- Functions
- Features
BASIC SKILLS FOR TEAM EFFECTIVENESS
Team development stages |
1.) Forming
2.) Storming
3.) Norming
4.) Performing
5.) Adjourning |
Team roles |
- Meeting Coordinator
- Recorder/Scribe
- Time-Keeper
- Encourager/Gatekeeper
- Devil’s Advocate |
Characteristics of a successful student team |
- Positive Interdependence (team members rely on each other to complete project)
Goal Specification (what needs to be accomplished and when)
Cohesiveness (establishing a bond between team members)
Effective and Respectful Communication

Python Snippets
User Input |
user1 = int(input("Enter the first digit: "))
|
Conditionals |
if(user1 == rand1):
numbCorrect = numbCorrect + 1
|
For-loop |
for x in range(1000): numbCorrect = 0
|
While-loop |
while x != 1:
#code to loop
|
- When taking numeric inputs make sure to specify the data type (int, float..)
- With the while loop we can execute a set of statements as long as a condition is true.

Which option leads me to act as a respectable person? |
Project management
• Project Management helps us to keep track of all the tasks associated with completing a design process to make sure things get done on time and in the right order
• Systems Thinking helps us to break down our complex problem/solution into smaller, easier to manage problems that are less daunting to solve
• Project Management Tools
o 1. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS): figure out what “things” are needed to achieve the project deliverable
o 2. Precedence Network (PN): depict the order in which items from the WBS need to be completed to achieve the project deliverable
o 3. Critical Path Method (CPM): add timing to each item in the PN to determine amount of time needed to achieve the project deliverable
o 4. Gantt Chart: visual diagram showing the items/tasks and timeline for achieving the project deliverable
• System Thinking- thinking about a complex system as a combination of components or processes that work together towards a common goal |

Academic Misconduct @ UC
|
Examples of Cheating Obtaining assistance with or answers to examination questions from another person with or without that person’s knowledge.
|
|
What are the Penalties? Zero on a test/assignment • Failure in a course • Expulsion from the program • Expulsion from the college
|
|
What's the process? Upon receiving a Notification Form, you have two options:
Option 1: Accept responsibility for the misconduct and the proposed sanction;
OR
Option 2: Respond to the instructor to challenge the allegation of misconduct and/or to discuss if the sanction(s) are commensurate to the violation.
|
|
What's the process? (Option 1) If the student chooses Option 1, they must send the Notification Form back to the instructor within 5 days. The instructor will then forward this to their C.C.A., and the student must complete the agreed upon sanctions.
|
|
What's the process? (Option 2) If you choose Option 2, you must meet with the instructor within 5 business days of the instructor's receipt of the Notification Form back from you.
|
|
College hearing panel? (final step) - You can ask for a College Hearing Panel, you and the instructor will be asked if you would like to appear at the hearing and provide any evidence supporting your position.
-The chair consists of the hearing chair, one representative selected by the college faculty, and one representative selected either by the college tribunal of Student Government for undergraduates, or by the graduate college tribunal of Graduate Student Governance Association for graduate students.
- Within three (3) days, the hearing chair of the C.H.P. will notify the student of the C.H.P.’s decision and appeal procedures.

Sig Fig Rules
• Multiplication/division: round the result to the least number of significant digits among the values in the calculation
• Addition/subtraction: round the result to the least precise value (i.e. fewest number of decimal points) among the values in the calculation
• Addition/subtraction and multiplication/division: perform the computation in steps following the correct order of operations, keeping track of the number of significant digits/decimal places as you go but only rounding the value to the correct number of significant digits at the end of the calculation |
What graphs to use (linear, log etc)
LINEAR: y=mx+b |
POWER: y=bx^m --> LOG LOG |
EXPONENTIAL: y=be^mx --> linear on X axis and Log on y axis |
