Summary
This year long module introduces students to basic concepts and practice of design and manufacture with a semester long group and individual project. It includes the following topics:
The process of design supported by practical design activities.
Engineering drawing
Solid modelling and drawing generation
Machine elements
Group Design Project with Integrated Individual Element
Machine shop practical training
Student groups will undertake a different group design project in semester 2 aligned to their subject stream; Mechanical Engineering OR Product Design and Manufacture
Note that the Machine shop practical training element must be passed to avoid a ban preventing students from entering the Workshop and making their design projects. Students who do not complete the Machine shop practical training in the Autumn semester will be required to resit any missed elements after the end of the Spring semester, usually at the end of June at the start of the Summer term.
Re-assessment
Students who fail this module overall and are required to complete a re-assessment will be re-assessed by exam. The re-assessment exam mark alone will be used to determine whether students satisfy progression requirements.
Target Students
Primarily for 1st year students in the Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. NOTE: Erasmus/Socrates/Visiting students MUST take any relevant examinations for this module in Nottingham at the appropriate time with all other students in the cohort.
Classes
- One 3-hour workshop each week for 20 weeks
- One 2-hour practicum each week for 20 weeks
- One 1-hour lecture each week for 20 weeks
- One 3-hour computing each week for 20 weeks
Activities may take place every teaching week of the Semester or only in specified weeks. It is usually specified above if an activity only takes place in some weeks of a Semester
Assessment
- 30% Solid modelling design skill in-class test: Assessed laboratory and design coursework: Computer Modelling Exercises, Design Project (with a Group and Individual Element)
- 20% Machine elements understanding in-class test
- 50% Design and make project test
Educational Aims
• Students should understand, by doing, that design is an iterative process.Student should acquire skills in the physical creation of designs through solid modelling, engineering drawings and practical workshopuse.Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students will be able to:
LO1 – Describe basic machine elements.
LO2 – Operate a 3D, solid modelling design package.
LO3 – Communicate designs using 2D engineering drawings.
LO4 – Use workshop tools safely to manufacture products which they have designed.
LO5 – Plan, conduct and manage the progress of an engineering design, make and test project.
