| Overall Educational Objective | To apply a systematic design process to real mechanical engineering problems selected from a broad spectrum of areas in mechanical and/or thermofluid systems. | ||||||||
| Course Description | This course assesses applications of design concepts in a mechanical system and/or thermofluid system project. Each project should follow the below design principles: Problem definition, design specifications, benchmarking, applying modeling and analysis methods, design optimization, economics and reliability, manufacturing considerations in design, capstone design projects. |
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 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. |
