Course description
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. What is more, "practice of problem finding and problem solution presentation" required for PBL at Department of Design and Engineering will be implemented by group work.
Purpose of class
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.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be able to understand and explain concept of Engineering Design, and they will be able to understand and explain structure and relevance of specialized fields of Engineering Design.
  2. Students will be able to get clues to work on research projects of specialized fields of Engineering Design.
  3. Students will be able to understand and explain the latest findings in design museums around the world.
  4. Students will be able to carry out "problem finding / problem solution presentation" in collaboration with group members.
