MIT OpenCourseWare: Principles of Engineering Practice

Engineering can be a difficult subject, and bringing together groups to create new technologies in energy production, bioengineering, and communications can present a wide range of logistical challenges. This fine course from MIT's OpenCourseWare presents materials from the spring 2010 version of Professor Lionel C. Kimerling's "Principles of Engineering Practice", and it tackles some of these aforementioned challenges. On the site, visitors can look over selected lecture notes from the course, the syllabus, lab materials, and case studies. The case studies are quite interesting, and they represent ideas and projects presented by students in the course. The titles of these presentations and case studies include "Solar Electricity: Problems, Constraints and Solutions" and "Summary of Options for the Growth of Solar Electricity". Also, interested parties can use the "Related Resources" area to view lectures from the course and read helpful documents like "Preserving Your Patent Rights"
