Aims
  1. To integrate knowledge from the Industrial Design programme into a single ''capstone'' group activity.
  2. To apply high level user-centred design, industrial design and engineering science to practical design problems and/or opportunities.
  3. To creatively design within the boundaries of a complex situation.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the module, students should be able to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of integrated multidisciplinary design.

On successful completion of the module, students should be able to demonstrate an ability to design using a systematic approach thereby fully analysing design problems and developing optimal design solutions.

On successful completion of the module, students should be able to demonstrate an ability to define and implement a design and prototyping strategy appropriate to a complex product design project.


Syllabus
1  1. Introduction to module
2. Students split into groups
3. An industrial design brief of substantial complexity will be delivered to each group.
4. The first semester will include user research, development of a product design specification (PDS), ideation, concept development, and initial detail design for a proposed ''proof of concept''.
5. The second semester will include any finalisation of the initial design, followed by proof of concept prototyping.
6. Each group will present a working prototype at the end of the module.
