ENGR 100 Section 210 - Writing and Interdisciplinary Collaborative Design

Instructors from five different disciplines will support your exploration of the creative design process through a collaborative, semester-long project: a multimodal essay, that combines architecture, art & design, engineering, music and writing to make an argument, while preparing you to work on interdisciplinary design teams. This project will lead you to explore fascinating processes and questions such as: how can engineers, writers, artists, architects, and musicians can work together to create interactive experiences, use research to inform creative work, and convey arguments in fun, innovative and meaningful ways. In this course you will learn:
- Interdisciplinary collaboration skills, strategies, and team-based design
processes
- Specific platforms, materials, or processes related to the final team project (TBD)
- Creative, effective, and reflective communication strategies and skills through writing and presentation
Engineering 100 is the start of a University of Michigan engineer's journey. Students take part in a real-world project that utilizes the fundamentals of their section's topic. From microprocessors to rockets to food, there are several mediums for students to pick from; all cover the same fundamentals (employ the engineer design process, communicate effectively as an engineer, collaborate in diverse teams, understand and practice professional engineering values).
