| Description:
| Aims:
To introduce the student to the techniques and constraints of professional design practice. To make the student understand standard design methods, key aspects of a specification and systematic methods for problem solving.
To make the student aware of the special features of design embodiment; including the stages in developing a product after the design stage; the problems and benefits of working in a team; ergonomics and aesthetics issues.
To develop the students skills in modelling complex assemblies
To further introduce design for X approaches
To introduce design issues relating to degree programme themes.
