Preamble:
The purpose of this course is to
i) introduce the undergraduate engineering studentsthe fundamental principles of
design engineering,
ii) make them understand the steps involved in the design process and
iii) familiarize them with the basic tools used and approaches in design.
Students are expected to apply design thinking in learning as well as while practicing
engineering, which is very important and relevant for today. Case studies from various
practical situations will help the students realize that design is not only concerned about the
function but also many other factors like customer requirements, economics, reliability, etc.
along with a variety of life cycle issues.

The course will help students to consider aesthetics, ergonomics and sustainability factors in
designs and also to practice professional ethics while designing.

Prerequisite:

Nil.The course will be generic to all engineering disciplines and will not require specialized
preparation or prerequisites in any of the individual engineering disciplines.

Course Outcomes:

After the completion of the course the student will be able to

CO 1 Explain the different concepts and principles involved in design engineering.

CO 2 Apply design thinking while learning and practicing engineering.
CO 3 Develop innovative, reliable, sustainable and economically viable designs
incorporating knowledge in engineering.

EST 200 DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

Preamble:
The purpose of this course is to
i) introduce the undergraduate engineering studentsthe fundamental principles of
design engineering,
ii) make them understand the steps involved in the design process and
iii) familiarize them with the basic tools used and approaches in design.
Students are expected to apply design thinking in learning as well as while practicing
engineering, which is very important and relevant for today. Case studies from various
practical situations will help the students realize that design is not only concerned about the
function but also many other factors like customer requirements, economics, reliability, etc.
along with a variety of life cycle issues.

The course will help students to consider aesthetics, ergonomics and sustainability factors in
designs and also to practice professional ethics while designing.

Prerequisite:

Nil.The course will be generic to all engineering disciplines and will not require specialized
preparation or prerequisites in any of the individual engineering disciplines.

Course Outcomes:

After the completion of the course the student will be able to

CO 1 Explain the different concepts and principles involved in design engineering.

CO 2 Apply design thinking while learning and practicing engineering.
CO 3 Develop innovative, reliable, sustainable and economically viable designs
incorporating knowledge in engineering.
