Description This subject will be offered at Engineering Innovation Hub - Hassall St, Parramatta campus. Design thinking is a fundamental skill that every engineer must have for the 21st Century. It is one of the skills that profoundly distinguish human intelligence from artificial intelligence, which greatly impacts an engineer's long-term career success in the workplace. This subject aims to equip students with the domain-independent and solution-neutral design thinking, which can be applied to whatever technical stream students choose to pursue in the future.

Learning Outcomes
After successful completion of this subject, students will be able to:
- Conduct collaborative product planning to formulate a unique design problem by translating customer needs to functional requirements
- Perform collaborative conceptual design to generate, evaluate, and select the functionally simple and physically certain concepts
- Document the design process and present the design outcome through presentation, report, logbook, and CAD drawing.
- Design mechanical components to satisfy the target functional requirements against design constraints
