Requisites:
Learning Outcomes: After successfully completing this unit, you will be able to: 1. Utilise a structured and iterative design process to embody an uncertain or incomplete brief into a detailed design of part, sub-assembly or system. 2. Manage the trade-offs that arise within the design process between form and function, material selection and manufacturing strategy. 3. Design a part, sub-assembly or system whilst considering different modes of failure and reliability. 4. Develop an embodied part, sub-assembly or system concept that considers the lifecycle impacts of reliability, materials, production, use-phase and end-of-life to design products compatible with a zero-carbon world. 5. Select appropriate presentation methods to communicate elements of your design. The unit contributes to the following AHEP 4th edition learning outcomes: C1, C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, C9, C10, C11, C13, C14, C15 and C16


Synopsis: Study the techniques and constraints of professional, team-based design practice, learning how to achieve successful design by integrating analytical skills from the engineering sciences. You'll build confidence in iterative design optimisation, complex systems design and designing products for the end-user and to wider societal requirements. You will also consider sustainability, functionality, geometry, manufacturing requirements and materials selection.

Content: Combined loadings, design factors and optimisation techniques Embodiment design elements Design for X (e.g. safety, ergonomics, life cycle design, automatic assembly, reliability, cost) Manufacturing technology Process and Assembly planning Quality Material selection for design and manufacturing Design aspects of material properties
