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.
