Overall Educational Objective

To learn to perform literature review about an Electrical and Electronics Engineering topic and to define an engineering problem and to propose a solution for the engineering problem by using the knowledge and skills acquired through previous classes.

Course Description

This course is the first stage of a one-year senior design project course. In senior design project, the students work in project teams for a capstone design project on a specific topic in any field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. In this course, the students are expected to define an engineering problem and to propose a solution for an engineering problem. Students will first perform a literature survey on the real-life problem that they selected at the beginning of the semester. Then, students will propose a solution to that problem under the supervision of their advisors.

Course Description in Turkish

Bu ders, EE tasarım projesi dersinin ilk kısmıdır. Tasarım projesinde öğrenciler proje grupları halinde Elektrik-Elektronik Mühendisliği alanında bir tasarım projesinde çalışacaklardır. Bu derste öğrencilerin bir mühendislik problemini tanımlamaları ve bu probleme çözüm üretmeleri beklenmektedir. Öğrenciler dönem başında, kendilerinin seçtikleri gerçek hayatta karşılaşılan bir problem üzerine öncelikle bir literatür taraması yapacaklar ardından da bu probleme çözüm üreteceklerdir. Tüm süreç seçilen konunun danışmanının idaresinde sürdürülecektir.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify a practical real-life engineering problem by using the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for practice;
2) analyze the contemporary issues related to the selected problem;
3) create a conceptual design that will solve the considered problem by including engineering standards, realistic constraints and conditions;
4) practice within a team to complete the engineering design;
5) define professional and ethical responsibility followed during a design process;
6) appreciate legal consequences of electrical and electronics engineering applications and their effects within global, economic, environmental, and societal context;
7) demonstrate the engineering design with a well-organized written report and presentation.
