What this paper is about
ENGME585 is a Project Based Learning (PBL) paper that teaches students the innovation and product development process including developing a concept, ideation, solutions assessment, architecting using UML and prototyping. The paper concludes with a business pitch to a dragons den.
Students are tasked to leverage existing technology (web, mobile, robotics, data & analytics) or emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence (image/voice recognition & machine learning) Internet Of Things (IoT), blockchain, Virtual and Augmented Reality (AR / VR) to solve real-world problems.
How this paper will be taught
Concepts will be taught in a weekly lecture and then applied to the project in the next 2-hour workshop.
