Course Description : In principle, this course give the mechanical engineering student
significant design experience and builds on the knowledge and
skills acquired in earlier course work in mechanical engineering
programme. This course provides an exposure to teamwork so as
to emulate a typical professional design environment. Students
have the opportunity to integrate the engineering knowledge and
experience they have gained throughout their undergraduate
programme and apply their skills to work on real-engineering
projects. Students will be working in groups and have to define
design problem, outline the project schedule and ultimately,
produce design solutions supported by detail specifications and
technical drawings. Computers are to be used both in the
execution of the design methodology and the management of the
design project. Each student team will work on a distinct project

and will be supervised and evaluated by a mentor/advisor and
course instructor.

Course Objectives : At the end of the course the students should be able to:
1. Solve industrial problems effectively.
2. Communicate in an ethical and professional manner
3. Plan and execute projects effectively.

Transferrable Skills : Ability to solve complex, open ended design problems
