The unit comprises two components: experimental and composite
design exercise. The experimental component is set to develop skills required to plan and conduct
experiments for property identification, use advanced measurement techniques, process experimental
data, verify assumptions, assess impact of manufacturing parameters on composite properties. The
composite product development component of the course will provide with the basic skills required to
design and present a composite component.
On successful completion of the unit, the students will be able to design and set up experiments for
composite property identification, perform measurements using advanced experimental methods, orally
present a technical subject. The students will also be able to carry out conceptual design and assess
manufacturability of composite products using computer-aided design software.
Methods of teaching include lectures, seminars and practical sessions in the
laboratory and computer classes.
(a) Presentation on Experimental methods (based on composite sample testing). (50% weighting)
(b) A design case study report for Composites Product Design. (50% weighting)
These assessments examine student abilities to construct arguments, present and defend design choices, summarise the output of the experiments and measurement procedures, present technical subject in an
oral talk, and demonstrate acquired design skills.
