Trefnydd: Dr Cristiano Palego

To tackle an industrially inspired group project. This will involve working in a team to identify a new product opportunity, putting the technical aspects of the project in the wider social and environmental context by studying the market, and health and safety aspects of the product. Development of presentation and project management skills will be pursued in a learning environment that is shaped to reproduce the time and financial constraints regulating real industry operation.

Indicative Content includes:

• Frameworks for innovation and design, McKinney’s FIRE. User Centred Design. Design in the Toyota Production System.
• Compliance with codes and regulations (health and safety, international standards).
• Team creation and management through design, testing, finances and human resources divisions.
• Project management through utilization of tools such as Gantt charts, design reviews, product specifications, performance modelling and characterisation.
• Earning project funding in a competitive environment by periodically presenting own teamwork before an investors board.

ardderchog

Equivalent to the range 70%+. Assemble critically evaluated, relevent areas of knowledge and theory to constuct professional-level solutions to tasks and questions presented. Is able to cross-link themes and aspects to draw considered conclusions. Presents outputs in a cohesive, accurate, and efficient manner.

trothwy

Equivalent to 40%. Uses key areas of theory or knowledge to meet the Learning Outcomes of the module. Is able to formulate an appropriate solution to accurately solve tasks and questions. Can identify individual aspects, but lacks an awareness of links between them and the wider contexts. Outputs can be understood, but lack structure and/or coherence.

da

Equivalent to the range 60%-69%. Is able to analyse a task or problem to decide which aspects of theory and knowledge to apply. Solutions are of a workable quality, demonstrating understanding of underlying principles. Major themes can be linked appropriately but may not be able to extend this to individual aspects. Outputs are readily understood, with an appropriate structure but may lack sophistication.

1. Appreciate the wider social and environmental aspects of a new product

2. Apply management frameworks to successfully complete a project.

3. Apply theoretical knowledge to the design of a new product.

4. Exercise Presentational Skills in a broad range of contexts.
