Description	The aim of the module is to introduce students to the design process and the skills employed therein, within an engineering context. The work develops themes introduced in Design Project 1A. It consists of the following three elements: A team design, build and test project, which includes: re-designing a structure (designed in Integrated Design Project 1A), building the structure to the drawings and mechanical testing. An introduction to the patent system and intellectual property rights to provide a basic understanding of how product designs, as intellectual property, are protected, impact of ethics and sustainability. A team design project for a topic specific application (supported by introduction sessions)*, which includes: producing a design specification, undertaking a patent search, producing a range of concept designs, selecting an appropriate concept, producing a detail design. In the weeks allocated for post-examination courses, students will undertake discipline specific training. Where appropriate students will undertake site visit related to their specific disciplines.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: By the end of the module, students should be able to: Apply quantitative methods and computer software relevant to related engineering disciplines, to solve engineering problems Use creativity to establish innovative solutions Manage the design process and evaluate outcomes Apply laboratory skills and other discipline related skills (Mechanical Engineering – Workshop; Civil Engineering – Surveying; ESEE – Software workshop Understand the use of technical literature and other information sources Demonstrate an awareness of nature of intellectual property, contractual and ethical issues Understand appropriate codes of practice and industry standards An ability to work in teams made up from different engineering disciplines Demonstrate a broad awareness of engineering projects as a system
