+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | When selecting an engineering research project, it is imperative to propose one that is scientifically well founded. Originality of the proposed concept should highlighted, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Project Selection Review #1-2:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The students should present their proposal in class. A good presentation should stimulate number students from the audience, to ask questions and the presenting team should provide plausible answers to these questions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ** Background Study:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The students should run an engineering background search, prior to the beginning of the project. In this study, the team members should review all the techniques they may potentially use for the ends of their projects. Also the originality of the endeavor and similarities between the selected project and other works should be discussed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Background Review:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | AT this stage, the students should be ready to present in class, a summary of the background study they ran on the chosen topic. The goal of this writing down this papers-review and presenting it, is to demonstrate the students comprehension of the underlying concepts and that allows them to improve the founding of their proposal. The main factors influencing the mark, dedicated to this part of project, are; first, the improvements achieved in the description of the right techniques involved in the project and second, the relevance of the team's answers to the audience' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Design Specification: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This a critical step, in project development, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Critical Design Review (CDR) #1-2:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the first CDR, the students need to justify their approach by describing the main techniques and answering the questions. In the second CDR they will address the problems that were asked in the first CDR. The main factors affecting the mark dedicated to this part of project are; first, the quality of the description of design specifications with regard to the template and second, the relevance of the answers given to the questions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Implementation Set-up:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each team should provide a list of the main tools, equipment, consumable materials, electronic components and software. The list should be accompanied by a justification of each item needed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Critical Implementation Review (CIR) #1-8:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each group should submit a progress report and present their accomplishments in class. Convincing answers to the questions asked at the end of the presentation, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Preliminary Demonstration | ||
+ | |||
+ | The students should demonstrate the first and second parts of project and answer the questions in PD #1 and PD #2 respectively. The main factors influencing the mark, dedicated to this phase of the project are; first, the successful demonstration of the results and second, answer to the questions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Final Demonstration and Reports:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The main goal of this project is to train the students to integrate various engineering techniques and through a problem solving and decision making processes, demonstrate the results of their project in a successful fashion. The final report is the main and final document that will be delivered from the students. This document should include all the studies, design and implementation procedures, results tables, images and graphics, formatted according to the template. | ||
- | **Course Description** | ||
- | In the duration of two terms, each team (3 students per team preferably), | ||
- | ** | ||
- | Course Objectives** | ||
- | In this course, the students will learn to | ||
- | A. Develop an innovative engineering project based on their backgrounds | ||
- | B. Complete a project from beginning to end | ||
- | C. Work in a collaborative environment | ||
- | D. Manage the time and budget for the completion of the project | ||
- | E. Address practical problems and search for their solutions | ||
- | ** | ||
- | Prerequisites** | ||
- | 21 3000-level Science (SC) or Engineering (ENG) credits in the Engineering program, exclusive of SC/ENG 3000 3.0. | ||
- | ** | ||
- | Course Design** | ||
- | Engineering teams, can select any project from a wide range of applications, | ||
- | The students should share their findings and problems with other students by presenting several times in class in order to (1) demonstrate their progress, (2) resourcing for better suggestions and solutions from their classmates and the course' | ||
- | Each team should find at least one faculty member and a graduate student, willing to be their advisers and mentors respectively. The director of the course, in consultation with faculty advisers will asses, the suitability of the proposed projects and will follow the progress made in each one of them. | ||
