Engineering Design and Communication

Description from DukeHub

Students work in a team to learn and apply the engineering design process to solve an open-ended, client-based problem drawn from a community partner. In this class, students learn to apply the engineering design process to meet the needs of a client, iteratively prototype using tools and materials appropriate to the solution, work collaboratively on a team, and communicate the critical steps in the design process in written, oral, and visual formats. First-year Pratt students only. Trinity first-year students may take the course with instructor consent.

AI-resilient: 2 of 5 2/5

• ✓Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "laboratory"
• ✓Yes: Live work with people · "team"
• No: Judgment someone is accountable for
• No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
• No: Small, in-person format

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
