COMP H3613 - Computer Integrated Eng 3

Module Title:Computer Integrated Engineering 3
Language of Instruction:English
Credits: 10
NFQ Level:7
Module Delivered In No Programmes
Teaching & Learning Strategies: The module will be delivered using lectures and 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 Understand the significance of the engineering design process and the part it plays in the manufacture of products and components;
LO2 Describe and implement various computer aided methods;
LO3 Understand the significance of parametric modelling & Finite Element Analysis and the part they play in the design of products and components;
LO4 To work effectively as part of a team in an engineering project environment.
