Description The aim of the module is to introduce students to the design process and the skills employed therein, within an engineering context.

SYLLABUS

There are three elements to the module and the following will be covered:

Professional Skills: report writing, literature searching,

presentation skills, team working;

Design Process: product design specification, concept design, selection of concept designs, detail design;

Drawing: sketching, engineering drawings, computer aided design.
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 /workshop skills for UoB Dubai campus Mechanical Engineering: This will be dependent on facilities and resource.
  • Understand the use of technical literature and other information sources
  • 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
Assessment 33283-07 : Design Project : Coursework (80%)
33283-08 : Presentation : Presentation (0%)
33283-09 : Report Writing : Coursework (0%)
33283-10 : EDI Quiz : Coursework (0%)
33283-16 : Reflection Asignment : Coursework (20%)
Assessment Methods & Exceptions Assessment

Report writing and oral presentation: Pass/Fail with internal hurdle

Ethics and EDI Quiz: Pass/Fail with internal hurdle

Design Assignment (individual): 80% with internal hurdle

Reflective Exercise: 20% with internal hurdle

Reassessment

Students will have an opportunity to revise and resubmit either component 1 (Report writing and Oral Presentation and/or Ethics and EDI Quiz) or component 2 (Design Assignment and/or Reflective Exercise) during the supplementary assessment period. For a re-assessment, the module mark will be capped at the passing threshold.

There will be an opportunity to recover all internal hurdles that have not been met.

To pass the module, it is a requirement to pass each assessment component. Students need to resit (new supplementary assignment (s)) each component separately if they fail that specific component. Students can carry forward passed assessment components from the main assessment.
