Objectives of the Course The objective of this course is to enable students from various engineering disciplines to work in teams to solve a complex engineering problem, design an innovative system, process, or product under realistic constraints (economic, environmental, social, sustainability, etc.), and develop project management skills.
Course Content Formation of multidisciplinary teams, problem definition, and requirement analysis. Conceptual and detailed design stages under realistic constraints. Prototype production or advanced simulation, testing, and validation. Application of project management principles (risk, time, and cost management), preparation of progress reports, and year-end academic defense/presentation.
