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.
Determine the compliance of designs relative to the relevant engineering standards.
6.
Determine the cost of a proposed design based on relevant economic considerations.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
Coordination of the design process according to good project management principles. Coordination of design teams. Functioning effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader of a team. Evaluating effectiveness of own and team performance Design project management, BS7000 Design Management. Principles of systems design including systems integration. 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. Assessment of designs to consider financial viability, security, risks and hazards, sustainability and environmental impacts.
Module Overview:
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. It will help you follow a systematic approach to generate detailed designs addressing both component and system level requirements.
Additional Information:
This module includes content which relates to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG12 – This module considers the issues of waste and recycling when designing engineering solutions. SDG10 – This module will consider how engineering designers can consider accessibility when developing new products. SDG14 – This module will consider environmental impacts of design options that are developed.
