Topic description
This topic equips students with digital design skills and knowledge including digital twins and design thinking.
Educational aims
This unit of study aims to cover the skills and knowledge required to digitally design a new system or component and optimise the system using digital twin. The student will learn to plan, design, implement and test an engineering system and validate the system using digital twin. Students will be able to use Flinders (Digital Fabrication Lab (including laser cutters and 3D printers) to make a physical prototype.
Expected learning outcomes
On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
- Understand and apply design thinking
- Use software tools for digital design
- Understand the basic approaches involved in project planning
- Apply systems concepts and elementary optimisation theory to model an industry 4.0 system using a digital twin
- Apply the principles of sustainable development and product lifecycle management including design for manufacture, sustainment/maintenance and disposal
