APSC-100 is a Queen's University course developed to encourage a sense of curiosity about engineering work, and to develop professional skills used by engineers. The Design Module (Module 1) is designed around open-ended design problems that complement the science and mathematics content of other courses. It also introduces multidisciplinary problems. Module 1 focuses on five fundamental engineering skills:

• design and creativity
• project management
• information management
• teamwork
• communications

This course is primarily student-directed. As such, each student team has the opportunity to learn independently and apply creativity to solve the design problem. Because the project is student-directed, the skills and knowledge you learn will be directly related to the effort you put into it. Occasionally students have complained that they did not learn anything from the project; you can ensure that this doesn't happen to you by using the resources provided to develop the five fundamental skills.

Getting Started with Appropedia

You can start with a tutorial

You can use your user page to practice editing -without having to worry about mucking up the rest of the site. For an example you can see my page at:User:J.M.Pearce For tips on making your pages look good go here:

• Help:Contents (step by step)
• And here
• You can upload files (e.g. pictures) here: Special:Upload
• (Hint: it helps to open multiple tabs or browser windows while doing this.)
• When you create sub-pages for your project include {{APSC100}}
