Description
This module introduces the learner to systematic design techniques for product/system specification; concept evaluation and design analysis within a project-based learning context.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Demonstrate understanding of systematic design techniques which include technical, ethical and societal components.
2.
Access and assemble information from reference sources (e.g. standards databases; patent databases).
3.
Generate engineering design decisions based on sound criteria, analysis and evaluation and which take due note of manufacturing, legislative and other techniques.
4.
Create professional reports on the engineering design process, including software output.
5.
Analyse a variety of engineering mechanisms using computer analysis and simulation.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
The module will be taught using problem based-learning and practicals.
Module Assessment Strategies
The module will be continuously assessed (100%)
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessment will require resubmission of design reports.
Indicative Syllabus
Design
The ‘Total Design’ philosophy
Concurrent Design
Market analysis/user needs and demands
The Product Design Specification
Conceptual design and evaluation
Strategies for detailed design and component design case study (eg, bearing/gearing/shaft/clutch design)
Analysis and simulation
Simulation of mechanisms using motion analysis
Simulation of Engineering problems using spreadsheets and other tools
Stress analysis and component optimisation using finite element analysis
