Aims
Provide an opportunity to complete a substantial piece of design work in a supervised environment that is of particular interest to the student. Students will demonstrate the application of knowledge and skill gained throughout the duration of their programme to solve a self-selected problem.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply a recognised design process from a self-selected complex problem and develop a solution from a range of concepts.
2.
Demonstrate independent creative and critical thinking in the pursuit of a solution.
3.
Systematically apply design techniques and skills to produce a design solution to professional, highly innovative standards.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This is a self-determined project-based module to allow students the opportunity to demonstrate their design-thinking and design-craft skills. It builds on knowledge gained from the L6 Semester 1 module: Major Project Research Report.
The module consists of a major design project proposed by the student and validated by staff. The student, with tutorial guidance, will determine the nature and direction of the design project once they have undertaken a period of initial research (in module 6262PDE) and developed a robust argument for the problem based on secondary research.
The module involves a series of seminars and workshops, which focus on the delivery of the project solution propositions. Guidance is provided on appropriate philosophies of approach, theory, methodologies and techniques.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
This module includes content, which relates to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals
This project module allows students to select a global, first order problem and develop a user-centred solution within a suitable design domain. As such, this module has the capacity to cover a large range of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
