IE498 SYSTEMS DESIGN II

Course Code:5680498
METU Credit (Theoretical-Laboratory hours/week):3 (1.00 - 4.00)
ECTS Credit:5.0
Department:Industrial Engineering
Language of Instruction:English
Level of Study:Undergraduate
Course Coordinator:Prof.Dr. ESRA KARASAKAL
Offered Semester:Spring Semesters.

Course Objectives

IE 497 and IE 498 courses will provide for real-world experience in engineering system design. Student teams will work in collaboration with a sponsoring organization and in consultation with the faculty, on a problem area proposed by the organization. The objective is to provide and implement meaningful solution alternatives based on scientific and engineering knowledge and, to this end, teach students how to synthesize and make use of such knowledge.


Course Content

The second of a two-course sequence in system design project. Analysis, formulation, modeling, validation and implementation stages of system design.
