Prerequisite – Greengineering 101, or Advanced Design 981, or Engineering Tech 636 or Instructor Recommendation
In GNRG 201, students will immerse themselves in design thinking protocols to tackle local and global issues with greengineers inspired solutions. Monthly green-thematic design challenges include: Students apply design, engineering, and consulting skills to create compre­hensive solutions for challenges faced by communities far and wide. Multi-disciplinary student teams collaboratively design products and process prototypes, implementation plans, and user experiences as solutions.

In this advanced ‘green-design’ course, students will build on the experience, skills, and projects covered throughout our Engineering and Design courses. They will be expected to work independently on design solutions and take more responsibility as chief engineers and business leaders. Students will develop new skills in project management, balancing problem variables with constraints, challenges, build­ing business partnerships while learning working with clients, as well as advanced engineering design, ISO 9000: I 4000, and Total Quality Management (TQM) standards and techniques. Students will research, study, and control all the aspects of a ‘real-world’ green-design think tank and prepare a major green innovation project collaboratively with an industry or community partner. Students will earn their 201 Safety Training Certificate. Greengineering 201, is a 21st century classroom that offers students project-based, research driven, collaborative learning.
201s spend the year veering away from the green aspect of Greengineering and focus their time on the design process and engineering.

Bootcamp

Like all Greengineering classes, the year starts off with boot camps!
The 201 bootcamp differs from the other years because it is a more intense project that lasts longer than a few days.

Design Challenge

 The design challenge is the main aspect of the 201 course. Using the design process, the class ends the year with a build that betters the community. The class spends the first month or two brainstorming ideas. They design, prototype, and go back to brainstorming project until they are satisfied. The last portion of the process is building.

The 201's are
  • Setting up a large-scale aquaponics system to give a head start to the 101 class, and designing a smaller, more attractive modular system with automatic controls
  • Prototyping a bicycle repair stand
  • Designing  a new shelter for student bicycles
  • Recycling plastic containers into a new, improved skateboard
