Course Objectives The objective of this course is to enable students to work in multidisciplinary groups (minimum five members from at least three different departments) to develop solutions for engineering problems. Students will prepare a project report explaining the process and present their findings orally.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Conduct literature research to analyze complex engineering problems
  • Work effectively as a member or leader in multidisciplinary teams (face-to-face, remote, or hybrid).
  • Prepare a technical project report considering the diverse characteristics of the target audience (education, language, profession).
  • Deliver an oral presentation of a technical project report considering the diverse characteristics of the target audience..
  • Independently and continuously learn, adapt to emerging technologies, and select the most accurate information sources while thinking critically about technological changes.
  • apply the planning, analysis, development, implementation, and improvement stages of project management through a real project.
  • conduct project feasibility assessment
Course Description Students design, analyze, and prepare business plans for a project in a multidisciplinary team using engineering techniques. They report the project details and deliver presentations using modern tools.
