Aims
This module provides students with a broad understanding of a design and built automotive engineering project and intend to solve real engineering problems by using appropriate theories, tools and process.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Investigate the key factors of an engineering project lifecycle, and the design and Implementation of an engineering projects
2.
Evaluate design options with respect to accuracy, reliability and efficiency of the design, and effectively demonstrate the methodical concepts supported by a literature review
3.
Apply basic engineering design concepts and solve problems by being a part of a small design group
4.
Apply knowledge gained to a design project, resulting in a working prototype
5.
Recognize the fundamentals of project management and apply them effectively in a team as a leader, manger and/or team member
6.
Apply relevant presentation and engineering tools to demonstrate the engineering solution
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Identification of objectives, requirements and nature of the project; Formulation of design alternative and analysis of feasibility, social, economic and financial aspects; Planning of design phase and preparation of work breakdown structure (WBS); Project organization and team building, Creative Thinking and Leadership & Management.
Introduction to Engineering Design, life cycles of engineering products and processes, Setting the Design Specifications, Standard conceptual design techniques: techniques used to select the optimum design out of different alternatives can be included such as: the Weighted Objective Method and Pugh matrix.
Design processes and design tools, concurrent engineering, creativity and reasoning, analysis and synthesis, simulation, evaluation and decision making.
Several simple but comprehensive design case studies selected from different disciplines of engineering addressing the topics.
Project Management Overview
Project Scope Management, Personal and Project Time Management, Project Cost Management, and Project Quality Management.
In addition to that understand the fundamentals of Project Human Resource Management, Procurement Management, Communications Management, Risk Management and Conflict Management

Module Overview:
The module is designed to bring multi-disciplinary team to work together to allow students to gain the knowledge of multi-disciplinary skills of engineering. Therefore, the learners will be able to coordinate with individuals sharing knowledge and with strong team working skills. The students will work as a group with a minimum of three and a maximum of five.
