13. Design Optimization ( 1 hour)
Optimization of design problems using Simulation Software

Practical:
1. Homework Problems
Traditional homework problems will be assigned periodically from the textbook.
These problems may include derivations and analytical problems requiring hand
computations.
2. Assignments
5 projects will be assigned throughout the semester requiring the use of Simulation
Software. These projects are to be done individually. A brief report describing the
objectives of the analysis, modelling techniques used, and results must be submitted
for each project.
3. Group Design Project/Research Project
A group design project will also be required by the end of the semester. This project
will be conceived by the group, must be of a “design” nature (no unique answer will
exist), and will require the use of Simulation Software (with more than one
iteration). Groups of 3-4 people will work on the project. A final report must be
submitted detailing the objectives, modelling techniques and assumptions, and
results of the project. In place of a design project, students are required to complete
a research-oriented project that uses advanced capabilities of Simulation Software.
4. Case study
Industrial Engineering problems study and analysis
