| Course Objectives | This course aims to introduce the basic theory and methodology of the upstream engineering design activity (conceptual design) that is the initial and most abstract stage of the design process. Special emphasize will be given to behavioural modeling tools and techniques for the upstream design yielding behaviour-based design of engineering systems. |
