Summary

This module will develop students’ skills enabling them to communicate design ideas, concepts and final designs in a clear visual manner. It aims to develop techniques, computer based tools that are essential in their course and professional product design.                

Re-assessment                                                                  

Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by coursework. The re-assessment mark for the module will be a combination of the marks from coursework passed first time and the coursework which have been re-assessed.
