The objective in this project is to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic science and mathematics and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives and criteria, synthesis, analysis, construction, testing and evaluation. The Project must also include the most of the following features: • Development of student creativity, • Use of open-ended problems, • Development and use of modern design theory and methodology, • Formulation of design problem statements and specification, • Consideration of alternative solutions, • Feasibility considerations, production processes, Further it is essential to include a variety of realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics and social impact.
