Learning Outputs

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 six lectures cover topics that are general to the faculty and are examined with a common mid-term exam. These topics are also expected to be expressed by the students in reports and presentations. Also in this 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 focused on this chosen project and will be a single document prepared by the interdisciplinary team; this project proposal will detail the work that will be carried out in the following semester in the course 4992. The prerequisite of taking 4992, is successfully completing 4991 course.
