problem and design systems, components or processes
that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration
for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and
environmental considerations
College of Engineering, Science and Technology 2
 Course Learning Outcomes (2)
You will be able to:
4. Evaluates the feasibility of several possible solutions in all
relevant contexts which, as appropriate to the problem,
may include: technical, suitability for implementation,
economic, aesthetic, ethical, health and safety, societal,
environmental and cultural
5. Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of
professional engineering work in the solution of the given
complex engineering problem in societal and
environmental contexts

 Your Learning Process
• A project-based learning course uses a student-centric
approach to enable proactive learning.
• You have access to all learning materials of this course
from Day 1.
• You have full control of your learning activities on these
materials but you are responsible for delivering the
outcomes of your project works in the form of a series of
assignments to be submitted at specified times in this
semester.
• The project outcomes will be assessed according to
published criteria, which are also available from the e-
learning system, Moodle.

 Project Based Learning
• Form a team with members from at least two disciplines
from: Civil, Mechanical, Electrical
• Work on the specified project, which is a real life problem
with some futuristic aspiration.
• You are required to:
– Elaborate the “user” requirements
– Create a model the system
– Perform analysis on its feasibility, i.e. acceptability,
technicality and financial viability
– Develop solutions or courses of action
– Determine the optimal solution
– Present your proposed solution to the community
