This course is about design! Design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Working in small groups, students will be asked to formulate a sound problem solving strategy and methodology within prescribed design specifications. To meet the design objectives, one must consider multiple strategies and approaches that must be considered in the context of design tradeoffs such as for example performance and costs.
In a laboratory course, you have ample opportunities for collaboration. Developing the ability to work well in a group is certainly one of the objectives for this course. Please read here what you are supposed to do alone and how much you are allowed to collaborate.
