Introduction Projects for engineering students give an edge over the race of recruitment to work hard to ensure a good career. In spite of employment practices in recent times, students are progressively taking up projects to pad up their skill set. Engineering projects help students to learn and acquire practical knowledge. Despite of theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students realize engineering projects in their four years of engineering and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to their course projects are expected to learn how to: • Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams. Build a major design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the course work. • Build a major design experience that incorporates appropriate engineering standards and multiple realistic constraints. Apply both analysis and synthesis in the engineering design process, resulting in designs that meet the desired needs. The IE 332 project is intended to demonstrate students' ability to perform basic software skills for a 'real world' industrial engineering case. Students would independently choose an "information technology improvement”, “Industry 4.0", or the "Internet of things” project and perform project planning, layout, database, and simulation designs of this technology improvement. In addition to applying technical knowledge in a “real world” project, this would demonstrate the students' ability to conduct group research, teamwork, and technical data interpretation, engineering standards application, software use, report writing, effective presentation, and project management skills. This project will highlight the key aspects of what you have learned both during class and in the lab. The project contains two parts. Each part will be a continuation of the other. You are required to work in groups of max 3 (no exceptions!) members. 2. Project Description You have begun working for the consulting company "ABC Consulting". Your first assignment is to implement a "smart city" project using the latest technologies related to IT, Industry 4.0, or the Internet of Things. A smart city uses information and communication technologies to increase operational efficiency, share information with the public, and improve both the quality of government/municipality services and citizen welfare. In the project, a new smart city application will replace traditional services/systems. Your project deliverable(s) will show how the smart city application will take shape and influence your city. You will be required to use your software skills at Arena and MS Access. The project involves: 1) Choosing one of the following smart city applications: • Smart factory. • Smart warehouse. Smart government department. • Smart services, like restaurants. • Smart hospital. • Smart airport. 2) Data collection based on your topic. 3) Simulating the system with complete input analysis, model development in Arena, and output analysis with suggestions for improvement. You don't have to create a very complex model. You can model any part of your application. The simulation model must be useful and logical. You will use the simulation report, analyze it, and define problems in the application area (that means you will include an output analysis with suggestions for improvement). 4) Creating an MS Access database for one of the city's departments such as warehouse, police department, fire department, transportation, finance, IT, planning department, etc. Possible ideas for a database include city personnel, services, crimes, or any other relevant data for the smart city application. The database must have at least: • 3 tables • 3 queries • 1 form • 1 report The database can be about anything relevant to your smart city. But please clearly explain the purpose of the database; it must be useful and logical. The tables have to be connected to one another including the entity-relationship diagram. Furthermore, you will create the fields and records in the tables by yourself (that means, you will make them up). The data should be relevant to the smart city you consult. 5) Referring to appropriate engineering standards. Information technology standards include both hardware and software standards. Software and information formatting standards are increasingly important. Standards exist for operating systems, programming languages, communications protocols, and human-computer interaction. For example, the global exchange of electronic mail messages requires standards for addressing, formatting, and transmission. A growing array of standards allows the World Wide Web to operate, including the standards for the basic protocol, the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), the standard for the messages (HTML), and a whole series of new standards to describe more general documents (the eXtended Markup Language or XML), links (the XML Linking Language or XLL), and appearance (XML Stylesheet Language or XSL). The following standards will be reviewed and incorporated into the project work: Standard ISO/IEC JTC 1 Information Technology ISO/IEC TR 30109:2015 Website link/guide https://www.iso.org/committee/45020.html https://www.iso.org/standard/53229.html Information technology User interfaces Worldwide availability of personalized computer environments ISO/IEC/IEEE 90003:2018 Software engineering - https://www.iso.org/standard/74348.html Guidelines for the application of ISO 9001:2015 to computer software 6) Students should approach industry (manufacturing or services) to get ideas/help on the project. Students should use the Industrial Directory of the Public Authority for Industry https://www.pai.gov.kw/tr/web/pai/35 to contact specific companies. The students can also be inspired by the Kuwait National Development Plan which sets the nation's long-term development priorities while looking for an appropriate topic/company. Please see http://www.newkuwait.gov.kw/en/ for more details. 3. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, students are expected to gain the following: • • Ability to use MS Project for developing project plans (SO (1) - PI (3,7)). Ability to use MS Visio for creating business process flow charts (SO (1) – PI (3,7)). Ability to use MS Access to create a database for business functions (SO (3,4,5) — PI (2,3,5,6)). • Ability to use Arena to perform basic simulations (SO (5,6) - PI (2, 5, 6, 7)). • Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data ((SO (5) - PI (2,5,6)). Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability (SO (3,5,6) – PI (2)).
