Design builds on knowledge of the engineering design process, encompassing specification, analysis, creative thought, and selection from alternative designs. Students will be equipped with the knowledge to write basic design specifications for a product or task. Students will undertake analytical calculations to design and/or select machine elements and apply selection methodologies to compare different design proposals. Students will also be tutored in the requirements for safety, ergonomic and environmental issues. They will expand their concurrent engineering knowledge into the areas of design for manufacturing, and assembly etc.
