Engineering Design1
Based on engineering knowledge and technology, this course introduces overall idea and frame work of Engineering Design, which
enables students to come up with creative thoughts supported by scientific thinking. The course also introduces rolls of Engineering
Design to develop systems and products through examining some example cases. The course also explains two systems and six
model courses of Engineering Design Department at S.I.T., and shows features of each field and necessary skills to learn.
Thus, the course enhances students' understanding of the department.
The aim of this course is to help students acquire understanding of main ideas of Engineering Design, which run through two
systems and six model courses of Engineering Design Department at S.I.T. Another purpose of the course is to help students
to acquire abilities to use problem solving design methods while applying basic Engineering Design methods.
- To understand main ideas of Engineering Design and explain them correctly.
- To understand structures and relationships of specialty fields of Engineering Design Department at S.I.T. and explain them correctly.
- To get clues to work on research projects of specialty fields of Engineering Design Department at S.I.T.
