Description From Spring 2020, this subject will be replaced by301286 - Designing for People: Applied Ergonomics. This subject equips students with the skills to use creative design and structured decision making to solve challenging problems. Students will develop their understanding of design process by creating experimental models using various methods, including 3D rapid prototyping. Students will also record their design process via multimodal media, in both digital and non-digital format. They will also reflect upon the design process through the CDIO framework (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) and CAD (Computer-Aided Design).

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- Conceive design solutions to meet a brief, taking into account mechanical, structural, human and contextual requirements.
- Develop and justify a design solution through an iterative process involving peer feedback.
- Implement and test a design using prototyping.
- Critically reflect on and document the design process and suggest improvement opportunities successes (using the CDIO framework).
- Produce a project report reflecting design and engineering content.
Subject Content
