| Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
The module will be delivered using lectures and on site tutorials with a mixture of presentations, example exercises, question and answer sessions, group discussions and online resources.
Laboratory classes will be delivered to students working in groups to obtain experimental data with subsequent individual reporting/assessment. |
| Module Aim: |
The aim of this module is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of manufacturing, the design process and computer integrated engineering. A key element of the module is to develop the student’s team working ability. Part of the assessment for this module is a group based project (in groups or four or five) to model and present a significant engineering artifact such as, for example, a complete car or aircraft. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
| LO1 |
