Objectives
The generic goal of this course is to provide knowledge about some
of the current design theories and methodologies of recognized
formative and practical value.
Additionally, the course also provides proficiency in the following crucial
issues of engineering design.
- Preliminary selection of alternative solutions
- Selection criteria for the final design solution (Decision criteria)
- Definition and representation of the "architecture" of the "design object"
