| Description:
| Aims:
To give each student the experience of a real design situation as part of a group.
This unit builds on the evaluation stage, leading to a detailed design that takes into account both engineering and business aspects.
To present these results in written and oral form and to practising engineers at an exhibition.
Learning Outcomes:
On successful completion of this unit the student will have:
* Demonstrated a detailed knowledge and understanding of the technical process that is engineering design.
* Demonstrated a detailed knowledge and understanding of the commercial aspects of engineering.
* Worked in a multi-disciplinary team.
* Developed a business plan.
Skills:
Working in a team; problem solving; numeracy; written communication; oral communication; IT; leadership.
Content:
Detail Design/Detailed Commercial Study. Numerical analysis of machines. Design for manufacture. CAD. Business Plan. Exhibition presentation.
