Synopsis
This unit provides students with the opportunity to work in teams to complete an integrated design project (IDP) which draws upon the knowledge and skills that they have developed throughout the course of their degree. It also includes instruction in the use of design software tools for 3D modelling, assembly, finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and design optimisation. Societal, health, safety, legal and cultural aspects will also be considered where appropriate.
Outcomes
At the successful completion of this unit you will be able to:
- use industry-standard engineering software tools for design (CAD) and simulation (stress analysis, dynamics, fluid dynamics, optimisation) of complex engineering problems
- design a product, process, service or resource that responds to an opportunity, meets a need, or solves a problem
- reflect on teamwork, project management, leadership, and conflict resolution in the context of the group projects and activities
- appraise societal, health, safety, legal and cultural aspects of an engineering project
- interpret design regulations and requirements
- communicate findings of design projects through written and oral forms
- manage a design project, demonstrating optimal use of resources and delivering the desired outcomes within the given amount of time.
Assessment
Continuous assessment: 100%
Workload requirements
1 hour lecture, 2 hours practicals, 2 hours laboratories and 7 hours of private study per week
