ENGR 381 Servant Engineering I

2 credit hours

Servant engineering is a two-semester course sequence taken in the student鈥檚 third year in the engineering program. In the servant engineering sequence, students apply their knowledge and design skills gained through coursework to a service-based project. Projects might require a multi-disciplinary team ranging from computer science to civil engineering, or they might be more focused on a specific skill-set. Each team has a faculty mentor who helps guide the project. Teams meet weekly with their faculty mentors and work through problem definition, specification development and conceptual development, with the goal of selecting a specific design for detailed design-and-build. Every project will be an opportunity to use the gifts that God has given us to serve others. Prerequisite: Engineering milestone. Final enrollment is contingent on approval from the College of Engineering. Additional course fee is required.

ENGR 382 Servant Engineering II

2 credit hours

The projects that were initiated in the first semester are further developed through simulation, prototyping, and testing. Use of analytic, computer, experimental, and design techniques is applied throughout the project. The design sequence culminates in the construction of the projects, oral presentations, and formal written reports. Prerequisites: Engineering milestone and ENGR 381 Servant Engineering I. Students are expected to take ENGR 382 in the semester immediately following ENGR 381. Final enrollment is contingent on approval from the College of Engineering. Additional course fee is required.
