Özet

A senior design course is part of the curriculum of the Industrial and Management Systems Engineering (IMSE) programme of Kuwait University (KU), Safat, Kuwait. The IMSE programme is an ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) accredited programme. The senior design course is also part of the curriculum of most of the international engineering programmes. The course provides engineering students the opportunity to solve real-world problems. The senior design course of the IMSE programme is unique as students select organisations themselves and they also identify problems themselves as opposed to the common practice of faculty members finding them. In this article, three organisations selected by the IMSE students are presented, along with student-identified problems and their solutions.
