Description including Unit Aims

This unit provides students with a broad overview of design and manufacture, introducing them to systematic methods to develop product designs as well as the constraints and opportunities common manufacturing processes place on design creativity. Throughout the unit students will develop their engineering communication skillset using technical reports, concept sketches, CAD, engineering drawings and schematics.

The aims of this first-year course are to:

• Introduce the role of design methods in engineering;
• Introduce graphical communication in design through an understanding and application of sketches, engineering drawings, CAD and schematic diagrams;
• Introduce principles and capabilities of the common manufacturing processes;
• Introduce design for manufacture and assembly best practice guidelines;
• Improve verbal communication through familiarisation with engineering terms;
• Give students the broadest possible practical exposure to practical manufacture, assembly, metrology techniques so that they may understand the real-world implications of their design decisions.

Intended Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students should be able to:

1. Recognise (for Knowledge) and describe (comprehension/ understanding) the function of common parts, fasteners and mechanisms. [P2]
2. Identify (problem working) a set of requirements for a product or system and distil (synthesis) these requirements into a Product Design Specification. [D1, D2, D3b]
3. Recognise (comprehension/understanding) the constraints posed by common manufacturing processes and design (creativity) parts that are compatible with these constraints. [P1]
4. Generate (creativity) and systematically assess (evaluation) concept designs with respect to a Product Design Specification. [D5]
5. Articulate (Communication) concepts and detailed designs using, as appropriate, written reports, sketches, CAD, engineering drawings and schematic diagrams. [D6, G1]

Teaching Information

This unit will be delivered using a blended learning approach incorporating a combination of traditional lectures, seminars, and practical classes as well as a range of self-directed PC/online exercises. These will be delivered in 2 x 3-hour sessions each teaching week.

Assessment Information

Formative assessment using weekly quizzes, games and practical exercises.

Mandatory ‘must-pass’ practical training sessions will run throughout the year.

Summative assessment using a single coursework assignment. The coursework assignment focuses on the development of a product. Students will need to submit a group report together with a portfolio of diagrams and schematics.
