Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

By attending this course, the students are expected to gain the following skills and knowledge:
-how to solve an engineering problem through interdisplinary collaboration,
-how to synthesize knowledge in order to solve an engineering problem,
-how to plan and manage an interdisciplinary engineering project,
-report writing,
-presentation skills.

Course Content:

In this course lectures are given on various topics relevant to conducting engineering projects. The first seven lectures cover topics that are general to the faculty and are examined with a common mid-term exam. The remaining lectures cover topics that are specific to the department and are expected to be expressed by the students in a presentation and in the final project report that is submitted in the final week. Also, during the latter part of the course students will be directed to form interdisciplinary teams and select a project among the projects offered by the faculty. The final report (project proposal) will be focussed on this chosen project and will be a single document prepared by the interdisciplinary team.
