The module develops the students' knowledge and understanding of the professional aspects connected with a career in product design and manufacture. It focuses on the needs of the individual within the workplace, workplace management, leadership, innovation as well as key issues related to design and manufacture, and varieties of communication within the workplace.
The lectures in this module directly inform and influence the workplacement module 1048. Students are expected to research and familiarise themselves with the lecture content and embed their learning into the workplacement report of module 1048.
The second element of this module involves academic writing - students will research two given topics and submit their essays. Topics revolve around themes such as innovation processes, global trends, personal development, design thinking and strategy.
The third element of this module consists of a 4 week long team task (random mix of First, Second and Third Year students) to engage and respond to an industrial live brief set by one of our partner companies. This aspect of the module is assess by a team Viva before a panel of judges. This task and its assessment replicates the process by which designers working in a team would present their delivered outcome to a client.
