In this courses, I have learned about some points below :
- Ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Company X is a bicycle manufacturer that runs 8 working-hours per day, from 8:00AM to 4:00PM. The process of inspection and packaging of bicycles comprises three main zones. Every day, there are 2 kinds of pallets delivered to zone 1 of the company. Each different kind of pallet contains a type of bicycle. There are 4 bicycles in one pallet. Upon arrival, a forklift moves pallets from Zone 1 to Zone 2. A forklift can move one pallet at a time.
At Zone 2, the pallet is unboxed by a group of 2 unbox_workers. The empty pallet is removed for reuse. Then, all bicycles are loaded on a main conveyor by a loader_worker to go to Zone 3.At Zone 3, each bi cycle is inspected and classified by an inspector. After that, bicycles of **type 1 **access space on the conveyor 1. Before bicycles are taken out of the conveyor, there is a process for labeling by a worker (worker 1). After the exit of the conveyor, each bicycle is packaged by another worker (worker 3).Bicycles of type 2 follow a similar process with conveyor 2, worker 2 and worker 4.
