Course Objectives
At the end of this course, the student will:
- conduct engineering analysis and synthesis collectively, and evaluate merits of various design alternatives.
- select manufacturing processes, machine tools and subsystems for production plant, and configure a production plant design in an optimum way.
- prepare well-organised reports containing engineering analysis and design decisions in the context of production plant design, delivering proficient presentation materials on project work in an allocated time, including slides, computer animations, and simulations.
- collectively resolve problems that might arise during the project, and manage resources during the execution of the project.
