Overall Educational Objective To learn to propose a design that models a practical problem, which includes engineering standards, realistic constraints and conditions, by using the knowledge and skills acquired through previous classes and apply the proposed design to a selected practical problem.
Course Description This course constitutes the second stage of IE senior design project. In this course, based on the problem selected, students will propose a design for a complex system, process, device or product, and apply the proposed design to the selected problem under the supervision of their advisors.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) solve the practical engineering problem, considered in IE490, by using the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for practice;
2) apply the contemporary design developed in IE490, which models the studied practical problem that includes engineering standards, realistic constraints and conditions;
3) organize and deliver effective verbal, written, virtual, and graphical communications;
4) define professional and ethical responsibility followed during a design process and critique the impact of the conceptual design in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts;
5) function effectively as a member/leader of a team;
6) analyze the effects of the applied design using relevant data;
7) recognize the importance of acquiring and applying new knowledge as needed.
