Objectives for
Mechanical
Engineering Project?
For mechanical engineering projects,
it's important to focus on the desired
outcome and the specific steps
required to achieve the general
objective.

The general objective is a single


statement/sentence which has similar
content with the title of the project.

The specific objectives are smaller


actionable goals that lead to fulfilling
the general objective. These are
always more focused, with each new
specific objective building from the last
to create a clear plan of action. The
specific objectives are SMART.
S - Specific
M - Measurable
A - Achievable
R - Reliable
T - Time bound

Example

Project title: Design and build a


robotic arm for automated assembly

General Objective
The general objective (main goal) of
this project is design and build a
robotic arm for automated assembly

Specific Objectives
The specific objectives are:
1. Define the functional requirements
of the robotic arm
2. Select the appropriate motors and
actuators for the robotic arm
3. Design and model the robotic arm
using CAD software
4. Build and assemble the robotic arm
5. Integrate the robotic arm into the
assembly line

Evaluate your specific objectives
