Aims

This module aims to build upon the Level 6 Mechanical Engineering Design module, by providing an authentic design project in conjunction with an internal or external client group or company (typically a research group or local industry). It will require students to demonstrate substantial independent initiative, working with the client to develop and communicate a design specification and project plan. The participants will select appropriate engineering and design processes and techniques to solve the problem.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Work with a client to establish a set of requirements and specifications
2.
Actively manage the design process, while monitoring and reporting progress to a client
3.
Communicate design information and data effectively with a client
4.
Determine appropriate analytical approaches and apply them to the design of a solution which meets the client requirements
5.
Demonstrate professional interpersonal skills with both a client and a design team
6.
Identify relevant standards and apply them to the design process and validate designs to ensure compliance

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Establishing project requirements in conjunction with an external or internal client Project planning and control to ensure an efficient, timely and effective outcome which meets client expectations Design delivery and execution of a technical design project, according to a plan Presentation of design solutions in a concise and professional way to an audience including the client, peers and academic staff
Module Overview:
This module aims to build upon the Level 6 Mechanical Engineering Design module, by providing an authentic design project in conjunction with an internal or external client group or company. You will select appropriate engineering and design processes and techniques to solve the problem.
Additional Information:The project provides the opportunity to conduct a major learning activity on a relevant engineering or technical topic. The project requires the student group to demonstrate good project management, engineering skills application, critical evaluation and presentational skills in a team working environment.
