Engineering Design 1

Overview

This module aims to provide key engineering design skills and knowledge. Skills covered will include: Techincal Sketching, andComputer-Aided Design modelling, with knowledge in Tolerancing, using engineering standards and engineering components.

Learning Objectives

Apply knowledge of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles to the solution of complex problems. Some of the knowledge will be at the forefront of the particular subject of study

Analyse complex problems to reach substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, statistics, natural science and engineering principles

Select and evaluate technical literature and other sources of information to address complex problems

Design solutions for complex problems that meet a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. This will involve consideration of applicable health & safety, diversity, inclusion, cultural, societal, environmental and commercial matters, codes of practice and industry standards

Use practical laboratory and workshop skills to investigate complex problems

Select and apply appropriate materials, equipment, engineering technologies and processes, recognising their limitations

Skills

Communicate effectively on complex engineering matters with technical and non-technical audiences

Assessment

None.
