Course Objective

This no-lecture course includes an appropriate design project with all the design phases starting from project selection to completion and presentation, and which leads the students use the knowledge they gained during their tenure in the department and gain complete design experience. In this course, design of a machine, system or process is conducted in the framework of an open-ended engineering problem and a team of students develops the solution.

Course Objective:
1. To provide the opportunity for the students to gain experience on all aspects and phases of design within the framework of an engineering problem
2. To develop the creativity of the students and promote teamwork
3. To help the students develop professionally and ethically
4. To bring the students in improved oral and written communication skills

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to knowledge and experience on design methodology
2   Ability to experience gained on; Problem definition, , Alternative concept development, Concept selection and improvement, Reaching solution, Presenting results, through the open-ended design project conducted
3   Ability to teamwork experience gained by working in groups
