Module Aims
To enable students to:-
- apply and develop their engineering knowledge, understanding and transferable skills at a professional level to a design project, where possible linked with industry.
- integrate their engineering, project management, teamwork, and business skills, and also operate to deadlines and meet specifications in an industrial type environment.
Content Summary
The project will be based on a design project, where possible linked with industry. The project will require students to demonstrate logical thought, critical analysis and sound rationale. Solutions to problems are expected not only to be appropriate and well argued, but also to consider all relevant implications such as quality, sustainability and environmental issues, time, cost, value, human, and contractual constraints. All work will be conducted to high professional standards, with full accompanying documentation.
Groups of typically 3 to 4 students will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The management structure will be determined by the team. Regular review meetings will be held, where formal minutes will be taken and recorded, at which the allocation and progress of work will be monitored
