Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) define an engineering design problem in mechanical and/or thermofluids system, specify function and develop constraints; 2) create and evaluate potential solutions to the design by considering realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability and select an appropriate solution; 3) carry out and verify the design; 4) demonstrate efficient team work; 5) define professional and ethical responsibility followed during the design process; 6) recognize the impact of engineering solutions in a global, environmental and societal context; 7) recognize the importance of gathering information and life-long learning; 8) analyze the related contemporary issues; 9) demonstrate oral and written communication skills through project reports and defend design work verbally before an audience. |
