Required SWL 300 Equivalent ECTS 12
Course Content
The student analyses and designs an integrated engineering system using the principles, foundations, and engineering skills that he acquired during the years of study. The project report submitted by the student should include the detailed steps of analysis and design realizing the requirements of the work and including the computer applications used in mathematical simulation for the designed system, and the laboratory tests if necessary. It also includes engineering drawings and maps needed to implement the designed system. Development and evaluation of sustainable design alternatives with impact assessment. Application of computer-aided design tools. The student must demonstrate in the body of his project, and during the project defence, his full understanding of the principles and foundations on which his project is based. He must also demonstrate ability to apply these principles in the field of his future engineering work.
