Course Role in Curriculum (Required/Elective): Required core course

The student is required to function on multidisciplinary team to design a system, component,
or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints. A standard engineering design
process is followed including the selection of a client defined problem, literature review,
problem formulation (objectives, constraints, and evaluation criteria), generation of design
alternatives, work plan, preliminary design of the selected alternative, design refinement,
detailed design, design evaluation, and documentations. The student is required to
communicate, clearly and concisely, the details of his design both orally and in written in
several stages during the design process including a final public presentation to a jury
composed of several subject-related professionals.

Course Length and Pacing

ELI 101 consists of 18 hours of class time each week. The English Language Institute
follows a modular system with two modules taught in each academic semester. Thus, the
course length for ELI 101 is one module of seven calendar weeks which allows for a total of
126 hours of class time each module. The 101 Instructor's Pacing Guide is designed on a
weekly basis, specifying available materials and providing instructors with a degree of
flexibility, allowing ample class time for language practice, and for the incorporation of
relevant supplementary materials to facilitate SLO achievement. It also emphasizes regular
Learner Training as an essential component of the learning process.
