Project
The student
is required to function on a multidisciplinary team to design a system,
component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints. A
standard engineering design process is followed including the selection of a
client-defined problem, literature review, problem formulation (objectives,
constraints, and evaluation criteria), generation of design alternatives,
work plan, preliminary design of the selected alternative, design refinement,
detailed design, design evaluation, and documentations. The student is
required to communicate, clearly and concisely, the details of his design
both orally and in writing in several stages during the design process
including a final public presentation to a jury composed of several
subject-related professionals.
