Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
1.
Interpret a set of customer requirements and convert them into engineering design requirements incorporating the product life-cycle considerations.
2.
Apply a logical design process appropriate to the design task applied to complex mechanical systems.
3.
Communicate design details through engineering drawings derived from 3D models using relevant drawing standards for mechanical systems, augmented by professional report and through oral presentation and defence.
4.
Demonstrate an ability for reflective practice: analyse design outcomes and implement changes to own design process.
5.
Develop a credible mechanical design solution ready for manufacture.
