DOCTOR OF TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

The graduate of the Doctor of Technology, three to five years after graduation shall:
1. Lead industry and other organizations in solving problems, challenges, issues and
other concerns using advanced technology
2. Exhibit a high-degree of professionalism in the workplace.
3. Engage in lifelong learning through further studies, research, certifications,
promotions, and other personal and professional development activities.

PHILOSOPHY

This course aims to develop expertise of engineering designers who can combine
knowledge from different areas and produce sustainable design. Integration of engineering
knowledge into a single process or system is challenging and this course will allow the students to
appreciate the complexity of modern engineering design. This course therefore provides in-depth
discussion, application and analysis of various design requirements, the integration of multiple
realistic constraints, applicable engineering standards and design trade-offs.

AUDIENCE

This course is intended for DT graduate students who have acquired foundation courses in the
field. Foundations in various engineering courses are vital for the successful completion of this
course.

g. Engage in professional development and ethical standards to a life-long

learning;

h. Conduct oneself within professional, ethical standards and social

responsibilities; and

i. Perform independent scientific research that results in the creation of new x

technological knowledge.
 INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the students will be able to:

ILO1. Discuss the engineering design development, engineering design attributes, and general
design considerations.
ILO2. Gain practical experience of applying the knowledge and skills through integrating real
life projects.
ILO3. Design an engineering process or system taking into considerations all multiple realistic
constraints such as technical, safety and environmental, socio-economic and ethics.
ILO4. Apply thinking, design methods and process to identify opportunities for innovation and drive
changes in various sectors of society.
ILO5. Critically evaluate the relationship of design, creativity, innovation and enabling
technologies.

TEACHING, LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES

Teaching and Learning Strategies

1. Active Learning. This entails the active participation of students in the learning process.
Related learning activities will be provided using online platform such as design exercises,
and case studies.
2. Problem-based Learning. Engineering design problems will be given to the students and
they are given an opportunity to determine how they will go about solving these problems.
This will allow students to utilize their prior knowledge in the topic area and identify the
gaps in their knowledge as they attempt to solve the problem. It is a student- centered
approach to learning that encourages students to be self-directed, interdependent and
independent as they attempt to solve the set problem.

Assessment Strategies

1. Design Project. S t u d e n t s will develop engineering design project incorporating the

concept of sustainable design. This is one of the major requirements of the course, i.e.,
design analysis, sustainability integration, cost estimation and profitability analysis of a
complete design project in area of specialization as described in the design project format.
Design project format will be provided.

2. Exams. There will be two major exams (summative) to be conducted as scheduled by the
department. These will assess the students’ knowledge on the topics covered in the class
and in the assignments submitted. Exams can only be made up for excused absences or by
pre-arrangement with the course Professor. The Professor has complete authority regarding
the issue of allowing test make-up and scheduling of such exam.

3. Case Analysis/Article Review. There will be case analyses in various topics that will be
conducted throughout the semester. This will give the students the opportunity to know and
analyze various issues and concerns regarding engineering design. Students will select at
least three from published articles on sustainable design according to their field of
specialization.

COURSE POLICIES

The following items are given as a guide in the conduct of the course:
• Grading System
The grade will be computed using the following components:

Major Exams (ME) -50%

Design Project (DP) -35%
Case Analysis (CA)/Article Review (AR) -15%

GWA = 50% (ME) + 35% (DP) + 15% (CS)

 Numerical Grade Equivalent Numerical Grade Equivalent
1.00 98-100 2.50 80-82
1.25 94-97 2.75 78-79
1.50 90-93 3.00 75-77
1.75 88-89
2.00 85-87 5.00 Below 70
2.25 83-84 Drp. Dropped

• Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action. Any act of
dishonesty in academic work constitutes academic misconduct. Penalties for
academic misconduct will vary with the seriousness of the offense. Punishment for
academic misconduct will vary with the seriousness of the offense. Punishment for
such offenses includes expulsion, suspension, non-credit of examination among
others.

• Dropping
Dropping from the course is the responsibility of the student. If you decide
to stop attending the class, submit a copy of duly signed dropping form not later
than the date set by the university registrar (before midterm exam). Failure to comply
with this requirement would mean a grade of 5.00 in the course.
