Aims |
|
This module aims to provide students with an interesting and engaging project that will help them to immediately relate the material being taught, both within and without this module, to a practical problem that is identifiable to their engineering discipline, thus reinforcing its relevance to the topic. In addition, the module: |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) The student will be able to identify common engineering components/mechanisms and understand how they function |
|
(LO2) The student will be able to demonstrate the ability to communicate their engineering design ideas using a computer-aided design package to a proficient level |
|
(LO3) The student will be able to prepare and present technical information and data in written and oral form to a proficient level |
|
(LO4) The student will be able to demonstrate their understanding of the design process through the manufacture and testing of an engineering product |
|
(S1) Learning skills online studying and learning in technology rich environments, formal and informal |
|
(S2) Information technology (application of) adopting, adapting and using digital devices, applications and services |
|
(S3) Problem solving/critical thinking/creativity analysing facts and situations and applying creative thinking to develop appropriate solutions |
|
(S4) Positive attitude/self-confidence, a 'can-do' approach, a readiness to take part and contribute, openness to new ideas and the drive to make these happen |
|
(S5) Numeracy (application of) manipulation of numbers, general mathematical awareness and its application in practical contexts (e.g. measuring, weighing, estimating and applying formula) |
|
(S6) Team (group) working, respecting others, co-operating, negotiating/persuading, awareness and services |
Syllabus |
|
The key topics to be covered in this module are: This module continues the design process for a vehicle initiated in MECH113 and culminates with the testing and analysis of the vehicle. The module will be taught in a variety of ways, such as using traditional lectures, group design sessions and ensuring that the students are 'hands on' as much as possible. All module resources will be available in VITAL and library resources will be signposted through the module reading list. Students will be expected to complete much of the design exercise in self study periods. |
