In this unit, students will learn core skills required to effectively design solutions to engineering problems. Taking a project-based format, students are supported by lecture and tutorial sessions while they work through a variety of realistic engineering problems and activities, each faced by engineers daily. Through the course they will learn processes and use tools that allow them to treat the problems set as would an industry engineer, will produce and iterate designs using a variety of methods, and evaluate and communicate designs and their performance.
Specifically, students will develop skills and gain experience in:
Making decisions and working effectively with incomplete information in uncertain environments.
The unit will have a blended learning approach incorporating a combination of lectures, seminars, and practical classes, as well as several self-directed exercises.
These will be delivered in 1 x 3hour teaching blocks per week.
100% coursework.
The project will be assessed through a single coursework assignment, evidencing skills developed throughout the unit on a single design problem. Students will need to submit a group work portfolio including report and diagrams.
This coursework is supported through in-class exercises and quizzes.
Mandatory must-pass assessments will run throughout the year, in which students will demonstrate skills in each of the areas taught.
