Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; The students who have succeeded in this course will have; 1) Gained a knowledge of project management, team management, conflict resolution 2) Gained a knowledge of engineering design, usability, and integration 3) Gained a knowledge of engineering constraints 4) Gained a knowledge of measurement and validation of a product 5) Gained a knowledge of innovation, entrepreneurship, patents and useful model protection 6) Identified an engineering problem and divided it into smaller sub problems to apply previous knowledge to solve each sub problem. 7) Produced alternative solutions to the problem and analyzed different solutions in terms of cost, time, work, maintenance, efficiency etc. 8) Prepared a project proposal that includes a complete design and plan of execution taking into consideration engineering constraints. 9) Gained a knowledge of engineering standards and applied them in a project design. 10) Gained research, report writing and 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. |
