On successful completion of this unit the student will be able to:
* analyse the needs of a range of stakeholders involved in innovation and why trans-disciplinary team work is critical for holistic solutions * illustrate the benefits of reframing a problem statement/technology and challenging / incorporating current viewpoints * summarize the importance of leveraging the capability of others using appropriate interpersonal skills personally and within teams * work in a trans-disciplinary team and have the skills to encourage inclusion, self-worth and collaboration * analyse a discipline specific performance of a propulsion system within its entire eco system * conduct open minded analysis without scientific or personal prejudice * evaluate team performance and manage improvements at the individual and collective levels. |
| Aims: | * introduce students to a real automotive propulsion system through practical, data driven analysis of its performance and context * work in a trans-disciplinary team to harness the skills and knowledge brought by each individual * apply structured innovation processes to identify opportunities for future propulsion systems. |
| Skills: | * Collaborative learning * Team working * Leadership * Oral communication * Written communication * Reflexion on prior learning * Data and information analysis of complex systems * Application of own expertise with an understanding of the systems implications * Dealing with incomplete data * Problem solving * Creativity * Data sourcing and collection. |
| Content: | In this unit students will work in a multi-disciplinary team to analyse the performance of an existing automotive propulsion and mobility system. The analysis is expected to be broad, touching all aspects of the socio-technological landscape. Students will take individual responsibility for the analysis of a specific aspect of the existing propulsion system. The group will use their collective expertise to identify opportunities for innovation which will form the basis of a new propulsion and mobility system. |
