1 Calendar Description
Introduction to the principles and practices of professional engineering. Team-based design projects provide 
context for developing research, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills along with professional behaviour. 
Includes elements of need recognition, conceptualisation, prototyping, and engineering design to satisfy 
commercial specifications. Emphasis on creativity, teamwork, time management, communication and 
engineering skills necessary to practice in any engineering discipline.
1.1 Text and Reference Materials
No required text. Lecture notes and supporting course information will be posted to Owl or shared through 
dedicated course MS Team sites.  Students will be required to contribute monetarily towards the construction of
prototypes for team projects, as necessary. Suggested readings may be posted to Owl. 
1.2 Branding
ES1050 makes an effort to brand its materials to create a visually connected collection of learning materials to 
aid in students mentally connecting elements together. A modified course logo is included at the bottom of this 
document in Figure 1 on Page 4.

2 Course Learning Outcomes At the end of the course students will be able to model professional engineering behaviour and work in teams to execute all parts of a systematic design process, including seeking and critically examining information identifying and addressing knowledge gaps and communicating effectively with clients and other stakeholders. The purpose of ES1050 is to teach and develop in students the knowledge and skills necessary to:  Work in a (multi-disciplinary) team,  Communicate with all project stakeholders,  Apply the engineering design process, and  Creative thinking to resolve open-ended design problems. Essentially, the Foundations of Engineering Practice. Reframed in terms of attributes recognised by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, ES1050 teaches and develops the following skills and knowledge (in rough order of emphasis):

Design: An ability to design solutions for complex, open-ended engineering problems and to design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate attention to health and safety risks, applicable standards, and economic, environmental, cultural and societal considerations. a. Demonstrate ability to frame a complex, open-ended design problem in engineering terms. b. Demonstrate ability to generate a diverse set of candidate engineering design solutions. c. Demonstrate ability to select candidate engineering design solutions for further development. d. Demonstrate ability to advance an engineering design to a defined end state – completion.
Individual and Teamwork: An ability to work effectively as a member and leader in teams preferably in a multidisciplinary setting a. Demonstrates ability to perform responsibly. b. Demonstrate ability to contribute to team goals. c. Demonstrate ability to evaluate peer and self-performance based on team effectiveness.
Communication Skills: An ability to communicate complex engineering concepts within the profession and with society at large. Such ability includes reading, writing, speaking and listening, and the ability to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, and to give and effectively respond to clear instructions. a. Demonstrate ability to follow instructions (listening and reading for comprehension). b. Demonstrate ability to articulate ideas in writing using appropriate technical language, and effective graphical tools. c. Demonstrate the ability to communicate orally using appropriate materials, language, non-verbal communication and effective graphical tools. Other skills and knowledge will be taught at an introductory level to ensure students are suitably equipped to face the challenges project and design work entails.

Workshops are delivered in flipped or blended formats. This means students are frequently expected to review online material and complete comprehension assessments or preparatory work before the sessions where lesson material is applied or practiced. 25/200 of the course mark is linked to the completion of preparatory work or post session activities for Workshops as included in the online lesson materials. If a lockdown occurs, instructors will host the Workshop sessions synchronously online using MS Teams. 4.2 Design Studios Labs (2-hours, Sections 011-026) Coded as laboratories in timetables, Design Studios are the primary instructional spaces for teams to work together on their projects with mentorship and guidance provided by their Studio instructors and TAs. Students will be placed into teams of approximately five within the Studios, one team for the Fall and one for the Winter terms. In these teams, students will be required to complete two major design projects over the course of the year and some other challenges. Project work will provide the context for assessing individual student’s development of Teamwork and Design Process knowledge and skills. Project grading heavily weights INDIVIDUAL student’s development of Team Skills and Design Process capabilities: ~1/3rd team skills, ~1/3rd^ design process, ~1/3 team project outcome. Details will be included in the project overviews. Face-to-face sessions will be held EVERY WEEK of the year unless otherwise announced. Students will be expected to observe appropriate masking and hand cleansing protocols for safety reasons. If a lockdown occurs, instructors will host the Studio sessions synchronously online using MS Teams and student Teams will work in their private MS Teams channels on Studio activities. TAs and instructors will then join online student teams to review progress and challenges. To close sessions, instructors may ask student teams (rotating reporting role) to provide brief (~1min) summary reports to the entire Studio of their weekly progress. Student teams are responsible for scheduling working times outside the course schedule to complete any work not completed in Studio sessions. 5 Logo FIGURE 1 : BLACK AND WHITE COURSE LOGO
