APSC 381 Advanced Design and Skills for Innovation W | K3.5


Lecture: Yes
Lab: No
Tutorial: Yes
The objective of this multidisciplinary course is to provide students with a broad range of knowledge and skills for design and innovation. Drawing heavily from industry practice, topics span the breadth of the innovation process, including advanced topics such as risk analysis, FMEA, reliability, and elements of six sigma methodologies. Elements of project management, market and economic analysis, and other professional practice topics are interwoven. Students work in multi-disciplinary teams on relevant and realistic projects, simulating the real-world engineering environment. This course provides direct entry to the elective final year capstone project course “APSC 480 Multi-disciplinary Industry Engineering Design Project FW | K9 ”, and will provide sound footing for those intending to pursue further design and innovation courses/programs.
