Topic description
Design methodologies for complex and ill-defined mechanical engineering problems; identifying client needs and gathering information; assessment and evaluation of engineering designs; developing design specifications; project management and documentation; teamwork, leadership and mentoring; self-reflection, creativity and innovation.
Educational aims
This topic aims to develop in students an advanced and practical understanding of mechanical design, through studying and applying:
- Methodologies for developing solutions to complex and ill-defined mechanical engineering design problems
- The integration of theory and methods across the range of mechanical engineering subjects
- The assessment and evaluation of engineering designs
- Techniques for determining design specifications from clients, eg the social, political, international, economic and environmental context of a problem as well as the technical requirements
- Project management and documentation methods and tools in the mechanical engineering context, eg ISO9001
- The variety of roles in mechanical engineering design groups, eg teamwork, leadership and mentoring
- Creativity, innovation and self-reflection
Expected learning outcomes
On completion of this topic you will be expected to be able to:
- Demonstrate an advanced and practical understanding of mechanical design
- Develop creative and innovative solutions to complex mechanical engineering design problems
- Demonstrate communication and teamwork skills appropriate for a professional engineer
- Use project management and documentation methods and tools
