Aims
This module will deliver a project based learning experience in Engineering Design. It is intended to present a practical focal point for knowledge and techniques learned in other modules as well as to continue to build on the engineering design curriculum from levels 4 and 5. Its participants will follow a systematic approach to generate detailed designs for a component or system.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Actively manage the design process and monitor progress
2.
Communicate design information and data effectively.
3.
Apply analytical techniques, from a range of engineering disciplines, in a design context.
4.
Apply engineering knowledge and judgement to solve design problems.
5.
Assess the compliance of designs relative to the relevant engineering standards.
6.
Assess the cost of a proposed design based on relevant economic considerations.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Management of the Design Process
• Coordination of design teams.
• Design project management, BS7000 Design Management.
• Collaborative design briefs, needs recognition and creation of effective design specifications.
• Concept generation and presentation.
• Embodiment design, layout planning, part modelling.
• Design for Manufacture, Bills of Process and process planning. Cost estimation and modelling.
• Team evaluation of ideas.
• Writing design reports.
Principles of systems design
• Application of appropriate design methodologies for complex design projects.
• Ensuring compliance with standards and & laws.
• Intellectual Property, Copyright, Patents.
• Further applications of ISO/BS8887:2009 Design for Manufacture, Assembly, Disassembly and End-of- life processing for multiple subsystems.
• Concurrent engineering.
Additional Information:This module aims to equipment the student with important underpinning engineering skills. Completion of this module is a requirement for compliance with the Engineering Council UK Spec and accreditation of the programme by the engineering professional bodies. A student must therefore successfully complete all sections of the module to a satisfactory level.
