DESCRIPTION
The theory section of the module is intended to extend the student?s understanding and ability of engineering design; enabling them to appropriately select and then apply established design theory, alongside product development and prototyping techniques, to produce comprehensive solutions to engineering problems. It will also provide an introduction to sustainability and sustainable design (to be covered in greater detail in the Sustainability section).
The Engineering Design Communication portion of the module develops the students understanding, awareness and ability to communicate the design intent, manufacturing information and relevant design documentation to the appropriate audiences. 3D CAD is used as a primary tool to undertake investigation of the design at the pre-manufacturing stage. Similarly FEA is introduced as an essential tool for the evaluation and validation of design ideas.
