Summary
To further design skills within both creative design and manufacturing detail. Specifically, in the first project, students will be able to detail a simple product for manufacture by injection moulding. They will develop their design ready for manufacture using analytical techniques to determine moulding parameters. In the second project, students will use sustainable design techniques to find creative approaches to difficult problems. Students will be able to present these often-complex ideas graphically to a good standard.
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.
Target Students
Students undertaking Product Design and Manufacture.
Assessment
- 40% Project 1: CW1 - Project 1 (8 Credits) (Module LO1, LO4, LO5)
- 60% Project 2: CW2 - Project 2 (12 Credits) (Module LO3, LO4, LO5)
Assessed by end of autumn semester
Educational Aims

In the second project, students will be able to use ‘People Centred Research’ use sustainable design techniques to find creative approaches to difficult problems. Students will be able to present these often-complex ideas graphically to a good standard.Learning Outcomes
LO1 – Utilising technical literature, design and detail a component for manufacture by the process of Injection moulding. (AHEP 4, 13)
LO2 - Deal with complex problems and open design briefs, managing the design process to produce appropriate design proposals. (AHEP 6)
LO3 - Balance the requirements of Form and Function with the requirements of Sustainability in Use and Manufacture. (AHEP 7)
LO4 - Select and apply appropriate engineering analysis techniques, including those using computation, to create components suitable for intended purposes. (AHEP 2,3)
LO5 - Present complex ideas, products, and systems in a simple graphical way. (AHEP 17)
LO6 – Maintain and compile reflections in-action and reflections on-action as a method to record your self-learning and development (AHEP 18)
