1 The Engineering Profession E10 - Introduction to Engineering Charles W. Davidson College of Engineering 1

2 What Engineers Do? (a review) 4 “Apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems” 4 1. Design products 2. Build and test these products 3. Design plants in which those products are made 4. Design systems that ensure the quality and efficiency of the manufacturing process 5. Analyze systems to evaluate their performance 6. Develop software to control systems 7. Innovate to improve performance of existing systems 2

3 Engineering Work Done in E10 Skills/Fundamentals: – Excel, SolidWorks, Statics, Aerodynamics, Strength of materials, Communication, EasyC, Signal theory Design: – Turbine blades, support structure (CE, ME, Aero) - Robot SW and HW (EE, Comp E, ME, SWR E) Build Parts (Mfg) : – Blades (z-printer) Assembly: - Support structure, Motor installation.
