1. Definitions - Abet

• ABET Definition of Engineering Design[1]• Process of devising a system or process to meet desired needs. It is

a decision-making process, in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.

• Fundamental elements :Establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation.

• Engineering design includes development of creativity, use of open-ended problems, use of modern design theory and methodology, formulation of design problem statements and specifications, consideration of alternative solutions,.

• Include a variety of realistic constraints such as economic factors, health and safety, hazop studies, environment.

• All design work should not be done in isolation by individual students; team efforts are encouraged where appropriate.

• - [1] http://www.abet.org/

1. KSU- College of Engineering

• The Senior Design Sequence is the most important challenge of the Senior Year. 

• Focuses on the application of the basic science, mathematics, engineering and design skills taught in earlier courses and labs to a real-life application of product design, or process improvement.

• Students are guided at the various stages of a the design project.

• Advisors serve as mentors, consultants and evaluators • Objectives: Excellent project- Employment- prizes-

2. Objectives- outcomes• Course Objectives• Enable students to synthesize the knowledge and skills acquired in

their undergraduate curriculum. • Opportunity to carry out a significant design project. • Expose the students to address a broad range of constraints

performance, economic, manufacturability, sustainability, social, safety, environmental, and ethical. .

• Enable students to apply engineering tools/techniques to design problems.

• Broaden skills in team work, critical thinking, communication, planning and scheduling through design project.

• Impress on the students the importance of technical communications. (oral written).
