MEC E 460 - Design Project I

3 units (fi 8)(FIRST, 2-1S-4)

Part 1 of the Capstone Design Project. Working in teams, students will undertake a feasibility study and detailed design of a project which requires students to exercise creative ability, to make assumptions and decisions based on synthesis of technical knowledge, and in general, devise new designs, rather than analyse existing ones, and test prototypes for performance and durability. Prerequisite: MEC E 360, Corequisite: ENG M 401.
