Trefnydd: Mr Peredur Williams

Through a focused design brief and project, this module gives students' the opportunity to further develop the skills, knowledge and understanding required to be a professional designer and practitioner. Students will research, design and manufacture a working and user-testable prototype/s of a new product.

This module will enable students to develop their prototyping and manufacturing skills, develop their understanding and practical application of health and safety issues, as well as knowledge of materials and designing for manufacture.

It also develops the students' knowledge and competencies in the use of Computer Aided Design, 3D printing and the use of digital graphic software (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign).

Students will also be introduced to control hardware and software.

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.

A very good grasp of all the learning outcomes and the ability to reflect on their relationship to one another in an analytic way.

1. Understand and apply the use of a commercial design process to complete a given brief.

2. Develop a creative and critical mindset when approaching and implementing a design process. (Skills such as divergent and convergent thinking, researching, synthesising, evaluating and decision-making will be evident).

3. Manufacturing and prototyping - To further develop manufacturing skills and an understanding of quality within a workshop and manufacturing setting. Understanding and application of safe working practices and material choices will also be developed.

4. Be able to effectively communicate design intent through various methods (sketching, prototyping, digital) in both informal and formal situations.

5. Begin to develop an understanding of control electronics (Arduino) and their applications within product design.
