Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: This course reviews the common basic concepts of all engineering disciplines and involves students in the design phase of a multi-disciplinary team project as well as a graduate project specific to their discipline. Within the scope of the graduation project, it is aimed to realise a complex engineering system by taking into consideration the non-technical constraints such as economic, environmental and legislation along with realistic technical constraints. This course is conducted in conjunction with the GBM498 Graduation Project course, which aims to realise the designed system.
Course Content: Designing a complex system, process, device or product in accordance with the intended objectives, in accordance with realistic constraints and conditions; To this end, to apply current design technologies.
• To be able to work effectively in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary teams; engineering individually.
• To be able to communicate effectively in Turkish, verbally and in writing; knowing at least one foreign language; to be able to prepare written reports, read and analyze written reports; make effective presentations; to be able to give and give clear and understandable guidance.
• Awareness of lifelong learning needs and methods; access to information, to follow scientific and technological developments; continue to educate oneself.
• Awareness of acting in accordance with ethical principles; professional and ethical responsibility; To know the engineering standards and to be able to design appropriately.
• Project management, risk and change management, entrepreneurship and innovation information; sustainable development knowledge.
• Information on the global and social impacts of engineering practices on health, environment and safety; awareness of the legal consequences of engineering solutions.
