Announcements Use a full sheet of paper for your lecture
quiz. Submit face-down in front or back of room as you leave.
Lecture Quiz is worth 25 points. Labs meet in Broun 356.
» A short quiz will be given at the beginning of most labs. It may cover the current lab assignment and/or previous labs. Most labs have homework to be turned in at the next meeting.

Quiz
1. Lecture Quizzes are worth _______ points.
2. Most lab meetings will have homework.Write TRUE or FALSE
6
Announcements Monday lab sections: Monday (9/3) is a
holiday – no classes. You will do Lab 2 and Lab 3 on 9/10.
All sections: bring your Student ID # to lab (903 xxx xxx). Fill out keypad code request slip.
7
Announcements Keypad access to Broun 356 (and Broun Hall after hours)
» Specify three six-digit numbers.– If your first choice is in use, your second choice will be assigned.
Find it by trial and error at the keypad. If you give less than two choices, you will not get a code.
» All the easy numbers have been taken (123456, pi, e, all 1’s etc).– Phone number permutations are good
» Make a note of your codes.

Syllabus Course web site
» Public – most content (lectures, labs, syllabus, etc.)» Canvas – Grades (and link to public website)
Objectives – introduce:– Engineering design– Graphical, oral, and written technical communication– Software tools: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Matlab– Teams
Textbook – Introduction to Engineering Design, Book 7: Projects, Skills and LEGO
Challenges, Dally and Reeves

Email CHECK YOUR EMAIL FREQUENTLY!!
» At least once per day» More if possible» Last minute updates, corrections, announcements will
be sent via email Email is the official communication medium of
Auburn University If you do not have a userid (email account) – GET
ONE! “I did not check my email” is not an valid excuse.

Professional Development Hours Professional engineering licensing requires
professional development hours Pick two of the following:
– Student professional society meetings (IEEE, ASME, AIChE, SWE, etc.). Check posted notices & class website.
– Guest lectures on campus– Other lectures/meetings announced in class– One memo only can be an interview a practicing or retired
engineer One-page memo due on each event
» See Class Schedule for due dates. Memos due within eight days of meeting.
» Memos can only be turned in during lecture!
15
SKIT
Each team must produce a skit illustrating some aspect of engineering design.» Skits should be 3 – 5 minutes in length» All aspects of the skit must be inoffensive. PG
rating is a rough guideline.» Skits should be captured on video and uploaded
to Canvas.» Selected skits will be screened during lecture
without prior notice
16
Expectations Be on-time, pay attention, ask questions Keep thorough, organized class notes Read the assigned material BEFORE class
and labs Lab assignments are on class website
» You will be quizzed at the beginning of lab Do neat, organized work for labs,
homework, and quizzes
17
Expectations This is “learn by doing” course
You will be asked to perform certain tasks without a complete set of instructions» Function as a team» Perform the design project
Why?» Benefits of “figuring it out for yourself”» Real world
18
Et Cetera (etc.) Attendance
– EXTREMELY IMPORTANT– More than 2 unexcused absences from either class or lab will result in an F
Lecture Quizzes– Questions interspersed throughout lecture– Covers previous lecture/lab & reading– Quizzes are how we take attendance
Guidelines for Submission of Homework Assignments Accessibility/Disability Outline/Schedule Office hours – by appointment – email to set up
19
Attendance EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
More than 2 unexcused absences from either class or lab will result in an F
Check Canvas for scores
Report grade discrepancies (lost grades, grading errors, etc.) to the Professor as soon as possible.

What is Engineering? The application of science and mathematics
to the design, construction and use of systems, through the process of analysis and synthesis, to solve a specific problem.
System = a collection of interacting or interdependent components.
Analysis = the logical or mathematical examination of the components and the characteristics of a system.
Synthesis = the selection of components to form a system with specific characteristics.

“Big 6” Engineering Fields
Civil ~ 1852 (ASCE) Mechanical ~ 1880 (ASME) Electrical ~ 1884 (IEEE) Chemical ~ 1904 (AIChE) Computer ~ 1947 (ACM) Industrial ~ 1948 (IIE)

Engineering Teams
Engineering requires teamwork! Important for college survival as well. Attention must be given to the functioning
of the team, not just the end product.
35
Team Meetings If not handled properly, team meetings can be
a waste of time. Tips for effective team meetings:
» Prepare an agenda in advance» Teams typically do not have total agreement on
issues» Have clearly defined action items by the end of the
meeting– Assign one or team members to each action item– Assign deadlines for each action item
36
Stages of Team Development
Orientation Problems/Dissatisfaction Resolution Prototype Production (not in this course) Termination
37
Design Project

Tips GET STARTED EARLY!!!!
Once you have been assigned to a team» Get your motors as early as possible.» Order any special Lego parts you need
(e.g., search for legos buckets)

Quiz
5. Which stage(s) of teaming (Orientation, Problems, Resolution, Prototype, Production, Termination) will NOT be performed in this course?
Write out the answer(s).
