Summary
The project involves 3 or more students, working as a team to design, manufacture and develop a product. Starting from the design brief prepared by the supervisor, the group will be required to devise and evaluate alternative design concepts, undertake the detailed engineering analysis and mechanical design, manufacture a prototype, evaluate its performance and undertake development work to improve it. Assessment of the financial viability and marketability of the product will be a major requirement.

Educational Aims
MM4GDM aims to teach the following within the context of design of an engineering product:1. Be able to interpret an indentified need and, by discussion with the potential user or customer, translate this into a Statement of Requirements for a prototype product to meet the need.2. Be able to use knowledge of engineering science, materials, and manufacturing processes to generate a range of solutions to meet the Requirements and then to select the solution(s) for further development and eventual embodiment.3. Be able, working as a team, to plan the execution of the design and making tasks, to be aware of, standards, legislative requirements and risks of all sorts, and to respond to overcome problems as they arise4. To document the work done for communication within the team, for communication with your customerï and to record decisions made for the benefit of anyone developing or maintaining your design.5. Be able to demonstrate to others that valid decisions are being made throughout the project and to validate and evaluate the final deliverables.6. To determine and justify a method by which the deliverables could be exploited commercially.Learning Outcomes
