The emphasis in this course in not on studying in a classroom from a list of topics, but rather it is a project course, although the fundamentals of design will also be taught through weekly lectures.
Students work in teams on a realistic, semester-long project.
The projects are open-ended design problems relating to fields of electromechanical, computer hardware and software, and instrumentation and interfacing. Working on interesting and challenging design projects will provide students with extensive knowledge and experience and unforgettable memory of their undergraduate study. For this year, There are 4 new projects, and each team of 3 students will select 1 project to work on during the semester. The multi-disciplinary nature of these projects ensures that student will learn a broad range of mechanical, electrical, and computer implementation. In addition to working on the projects, some important topics of Engineering Design will also be delivered to students through the weekly one-hour lectures.
