Summary
Within this module students will develop skills to resolve complex engineering problems relevant to the field of Industrial Design, with the assistance of mathematics and analytical methods. These conclusions will be used to make recommendations on topics such as factors of safety in product use or to specify appropriate materials / components for a products design and use. Student will also develop skills and gain experience in preparation for their future careers in design and engineering. Students will prepare materials to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in product design and practice their professional communication skills within the context of a design-based job interview.
Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed in all failed assessment components. The re-assessment mark for the module will be a combination of the marks from components passed first time and the components which have been re-assessed.
Target Students
Students undertaking Product Design and Manufacture (MEng)
Assessment
