Dr. Kenneth J. Reid, Director of Engineering EducationOhio Northern University
Intro to Engineering 1 (ENGR1041)
Small projects Tech communication Design process
Intro to Engineering 2 (ENGR1051)Cornerstone design project
Given a country, design a device to help alleviate some effect of poverty
First Year Engineering Sequence
Teaming Criteria & Constraints
Entrepreneurial MindsetA student should be able to:1. Effectively collaborate in a team setting2. Apply critical & creative thinking to ambiguous problems3. Construct & effectively communicate a customer-appropriate
value proposition4. Persist through and learn from failure.5. Effectively manage projects through appropriate
commercialization or final delivery process.6. Demonstrate voluntary social responsibility.7. Relate personal liberties and free enterprise to
entrepreneurship.
Effectively collaborate in a team setting• Teams are formed “randomly” in Intro to Engr 1• Effective teaming covered in Intro to Engr 1• Teams formed using CATME in Engr (www.catme.org)
• Engineering Design process applied to multiple designs
• Poverty Alleviating cornerstone project
