Course Goal / Objective

The Engineering Design course aims to equip students with a structured problem-solving approach, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. Students will learn to define problems, conduct research, generate innovative solutions, and apply engineering principles to develop functional prototypes.

Course Content

Through various assigned design projects, students' problem-solving abilities are developed, and resources related to production and development phases are examined, along with the design of an engineering product using existing physical programming platforms and software(s) related to the topic selected during the study period.

Course Precondition

None
