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.
