Course Objectives The major goal of the two-semester Capstone course sequence (MFGE 401-MFGE 402) is to allow the students to apply their manufacturing engineering knowledge for learning and practicing engineering design, as well as experiencing an engineering design process starting from the conceptual recognition up to the physical manufacturing and testing.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • To provide the students with an opportunity to gain practical experience in product and process design
  • To give students an opportunity to use the engineering tools/techniques to solve a real design problem
  • To provide the students with an opportunity to develop and use engineering design methodology
  • To help students understand needs analysis, objectives, constraints and design criteria.
  • To allow students to be experienced in oral and written communication and to work in teams; which will also cultivate students’ understanding appropriate ethics and professional behavior.
Course Content Review of engineering design concepts; phases of engineering design, feasibility study, preliminary design, and detail design; design for X; presentation tools for engineering design; types of engineering design; modeling of engineering design; case studies.
