7 Course Synopsis
This course prepares a detailed comprehensive design project considering
the different stages of their design, manufacturing and assembly. The
students will learn about project management, communication,
documentation, working in teams, design methodology. Design of
mechanical engineering systems components, including problem definition,
analysis, and synthesis, and develop a computational as well as the physical
model of their design. The projects challenge students to apply the
knowledge and skills they learned throughout their degree to real-world
problems. Application of the design process to solve an engineering
problem which includes interdisciplinary parameters such as human factors,
engineering economy, safety, environmental, and societal aspects of their
design, etc. The students work in small teams under the close supervision of
faculty members. Each team produces detailed drawings, comprehensive
specifications, a presentation, and a prototype of the proposed design. They
also write design reports and prepare posters describing their work. All
reports are expected to meet professional standards.
8 Course Outcomes
By the end of semester, students should be able to:
CO1: design for a complex mechanical system and components;
CO2 analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to
provide effective conclusions;
CO3: write an effective reports and design documentation, make effective
presentations, and receive a clear directions;
CO4: function effectively as an individual, and as a member/leader.
CO5: apply appropriate techniques and modern engineering tools for
prediction and modelling of complex mechanical system.

Engineering programs must demonstrate that their students attain:

1. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and a mechanical engineering specialisation to the solution of
complex engineering problems.
2. an ability to identify, formulate, research literature and analyse complex mechanical engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first
principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences
3. an ability to design solutions for complex mechanical engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs
with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations
4. an ability to conduct investigation into complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments,
analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions
5. an ability to create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to
complex mechanical engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations
6. an ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent
responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice
7. an ability to understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and
need for sustainable development
8. an ability to apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practi ce
9. an ability to communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able
to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions
10. An ability to function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings
11. an ability to recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of
technological change
12. an ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to ones own work, as a member
and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments

1(1) Lecture
Task Assignments:
Each team assigns detailed responsibilities for each member as stated
in the Project Plan.
Each team member details the specific tasks that they expect to
perform in support of their project and team.
The individual task assignments are then integrated into a single group
plan (not just cut and pasted together).
Each person must understand their responsibilities and the
responsibilities of the other team members.
1(1) Understanding
Lecture, Cooperative
Learning/ Laboratory
Problem Statement:
Each team submits a problem statement for their selected project
(three pages, maximum).
The problem statement should clearly define the scope and expected
content of the project.
It should also address the novelty, customer needs, specifications,
constraints, evaluation criteria, market, goals, etc.

Project Plan:
Each team submits a work plan for the completion of their project.
Identify the individual members responsible for activities related to the
group management, design partition, and deliverables.
Include a timeline with critical dates.
A Gantt chart is a useful model.

Conceptual Designs:
Each team presents at least 5 of the most feasible concepts
developed for the solution of their project.
The presentation of each concept should be self-contained so that it
should reasonably be able to understand it.
For each concept include:
1. Descriptive name (e.g. Folding Chair Design and not Design 1)
2. Brief description in sentence form.
3. Descriptive sketches sufficient to explain the concept. Label all
important parts, views, and directions.
4. If the concept is used in multiple positions (e.g. open and closed)
show a sketch for each. Hand drawn sketches that are scanned in
clearly are OK.
5. Itemize the advantages and disadvantages of each design
(below each sketch if possible).
6. Use the PMI (plus/minus/interesting) classification in list form.
