Course Objectives The objective of this course is to enable students to define, analyze, and develop solutions to real engineering problems by applying a holistic engineering approach that integrates literature review, design, analysis, and validation processes. The course also aims to develop students’ project management skills, including time planning, cost analysis, and effective teamwork. In addition, students are expected to document their work in accordance with academic and technical standards and to gain effective oral presentation, communication, and question–answer skills in order to professionally present and defend their projects.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • To enable students to define, analyze, and develop solutions to real engineering problems.
  • To enable students to apply literature review, design, analysis, and validation processes using a holistic engineering approach.
  • To develop project management skills, including time planning, cost analysis, and teamwork.
  • To enable students to present their work in the form of a report in accordance with academic and technical standards.
  • To develop effective oral presentation, communication, and question–answer skills, allowing students to professionally defend their projects.
Course Content Systems design concepts, mathematical modeling, optimization methods, static and dynamic analysis and failure analysis of large systems.
