IE 401        Industrial Engineering Design I   (2-2) 3

URL: http://ie.atilim.edu.tr/~ie401

Catalog Data:

This is the first part of the two-semester Industrial Engineering Design course (IE 401 and IE 402) that serves as the capstone design for the application of industrial engineering techniques to solve complex real life problems in either a manufacturing or service enterprise. This first part includes site visits, investigation of symptoms and problem definition. (Prerequisites: IE 302, IE 305 and IE 307 (students registered to either of these courses may be unsatisfactory to at most one of its prerequisities), IE 407 (corequisite)).

Textbook:

Blancard, B. S., and Fabrycky, W. J. 2006, Systems Engineering and Analysis, Prentice Hall, New Jersey.

Reference:

IE Design Guide.

Prerequisites by Topic:

Model formulation; evaluation of investment and cost alternatives; production planning; supply chain management.

Goals:

This is the capstone course where students put it all together and analyze and synthesize an open-ended real life problem by using engineering design methodology. In this course, students go through the first phase of design process from "need" to "synthesis" with a client/sponsor.

Objectives:

·         To provide the students with an opportunity to develop and use engineering design methodology.

·         To help students understand needs analysis, symptom-root cause relations, objectives, constraints and design criteria.

·         To allow students to present oral and written reports.

·         To allow students to work in teams.

·         To help students understand appropriate ethics and professional behavior.

Course Topics:

1. Course overview (1 week)

2. Review of the engineering design process (3 weeks)

3. Report presentations (1 week)

4. Site visits by team members (10 weeks)

Computer Usage:

Usage of packages (Minitab, Lindo, Arena, Word, Excel, and other packages as needed).

Laboratory Projects:

None.
