Amcanion cyffredinol
The module gives students the opportunity to work on a 'live brief' with an external partner company to research, design and manufacture a working and user-testable prototype of a new product or invention.
The module focuses on applying the design process to develop students' knowledge and understanding in project management, design thinking and empathic processes, modelling, prototyping, and the use of materials, components, and structures during a manufacturing procedure.
It also develops students' knowledge and understanding of safety and sustainable practices in designing and the skills needed for safe working practice.
It also develops students’ knowledge of and understanding of manufacturing processes, and raises an awareness of how the module outcomes can be applied in a professional context.
It also develops students' skills and competencies in Computer Aided Design, Finite Element Analysis and Digital Graphics up to professional level.
Cynnwys cwrs
The brief for this module will be set by an external partner company, and the project will last for eight weeks in duration. The partner company will require a new original product/invention be generated, or a re-design of a current product, or a new product that competes against their market competitors. The module is split into four distinct phases, known as 'Crits'. Each phase requires a presentation be submitted/presented to the company - each phase corresponds a four-step design process. Theses presentations are assessed by college staff.
Crit 1 - presentation of market and user research, along with a definition of design intent and direction.
Crit 2 - presentation of concept ideas along with initial 'proof of concept' testing results.
Crit 3 - presentation of the final prototype outcome, along with usability/functional testing results.
Crit 4 - presentation of product evaluation/review, along with 'next phase' intent. (Presentations have a max time of 4 minutes each)
CAD, FEA and Digital Graphics will be taught via weekly exercises which are assessed.
