| Course Objectives: | The students are expected to gain the following skills and knowledge: -how to solve an engineering problem through interdisciplinary 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. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) will have gained a knowledge of project management, team management, conflict resolution 2) will have gained a knowledge of engineering design, usability, and integration 3) will have gained a knowledge of engineering constraints 4) will have gained a knowledge of measurement and verification of a product 5) will have gained a knowledge of innovation, entrepreneurship, patent and useful model protection 6) will have identified an engineering problem and divide it into smaller sub problems to apply previous knowledge to solve each sub problem. 7) will have produced alternative solutions to the problem and analyze different solutions in terms of cost, time, work, maintenance, efficiency etc. 8) will have prepared a project proposal that includes a complete design and plan of execution taking into consideration engineering constraints. 9) will have gained a knowledge of engineering standards and apply them in a project design. 10) will have gained research, report writing and presentation skills. |
| 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. |
