Overall Educational Objective

To design a system, components or a process to meet desired needs by learning to identify a problem, and develop a solution to this problem by using appropriate methods, modern engineering tools and skills for engineering practice.

Course Description

This non-lecture course provides a comprehensive design process. The following tasks are carried out by student taking this course: Problem identification, project group formation, project planning: cost, effort, duration and resource estimation, Gantt chart, feasibility study, risk analysis, literature survey, comparison of solution methods and selecting a solution, analysis, design, development and test of project. Preparing the project report and giving presentation at the end of the semester.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems;
2) design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs;
3) communicate effectively verbally with a range of audiences
4) communicate effectively by preparing a well-organized project report
5) recognize professional and ethical responsibilities by considering the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
6) function effectively on a team
7) analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
8) acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
