Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able 
to:
•  Apply systematic methodologies, for example, quality 
function deployment (QFD), within projects to understand 
systemic ways that engineers cope with the complexities of 
design.
•  Design and construct a working device or model that meets 
important performance requirements while satisfying relevant 
societal and professional constraints.
•  Demonstrate effective use of contemporary tools for 
engineering analysis, fabrication, testing, and design 
communication.
•  Estimate economic costs and benefits anticipated for 
engineering alternatives.
•  Articulate the factors that drive business success in 
today’s marketplace.
•  Understand how to design technological products that are 
manufacturable and maintainable.
