The aim for this unit is to give every design student an introduction to working in a multi-disciplinary group project. The students will undertake at least one design-build-test project involving the specification, conceptual design, detail design, construction and testing of an engineering artefact.
On successful completion of the unit the student will be able to
outline the role of the design process in produce development, and describe its general structure;
understand systems design, and the role of trade-off & compromise in a multi-disciplinary project. understand the role of teamwork in design; take a simple design exercise from specification through to delivery of a manufactured artifact. contribute to a multi-disciplinary group project in design
12 x 3-hour group activity sessions
100% coursework to include project reports and peer assessment
