Objectives of the Course

To aim the ability to solve problems with real constraints using basic science and engineering courses.

Course Content

Within the scope of the course, information is given about the selection of engineering information to be used in solving design problems, the creation of an engineering project under real constraints, and the interpretation of the results.

Lec. Zühal GÜNDÜZ
Learning Outcomes
1.Explains and applies the fundamental stages of the engineering design process (problem definition, needs analysis, concept development).
2.Develops alternative solutions to design problems and selects the most appropriate solution using decision-making methods.
3.Plans the selected design project and prepares interim and final reports in accordance with scientific and technical standards.
4.Considers ethical, sustainability, and practical constraints within the design process.
5.Effectively presents and evaluates the developed design project both orally and in written form.
