Overview

This is an 8-week module, and will consist of either one or two design briefs from an external company. The design project will introduce students to the Bangor Design Process, which will be used to structure the management of design projects and consists of four phases known as gates (or crits).

In addition to the design studies, a weekly series of exercises and taught sessions will include Digital Graphics, control technology (Arduino) and workshop session to develop manufacturing skills and competencies through a dedicated design challenge.

Assessment will be a combination of design work, presentations (maximum of 5 minutes), evidence of completed exercises and CV quality portfolio.
