| Module Overview |
|
This HE1 module covers four major and important areas directly relevant to the engineering design. There are design principles engineering drawings and CAD, basic manufacturing skill and practices, and sustainability of engineering design. Each area will be delivered in different ways but the knowledge and skills learnt are essential for student working on the design project in the following semester. This module provides a comprehensive overview of engineering design and the necessary skills to carry out the an engineering design and manufacturing of the final product upon specific requirement from customer.

| Module Aims |
To provide students with:
An understanding of the skills and knowledge in design and sustainability to participate in engineering product development. And introduce the basic engineering practices in component manufacture including actual the operation of machine tools. Introduce students to the environmental and social constraints that need to be considered by engineers and to put engineering in its global context and thereby to provide students with the conceptual understanding they will need to pursue professional careers.

|
| Learning Outcomes |
|
Upon successful completion of the module, you will be able to
a) Communicate ideas of the shape and form of components through drawings generated by manual and computer methods
b) Using CAD software to create 3D mechanical component and assembly models and produce corresponding engineering drawings.
c) Understand the principles of the design process and the materials and components used and apply the principles in real applications such as the Design-make-evaluate project in the following semester.
d) Gain rudimentary skills and knowledge in basic workshop practice and will understand the need for the formal organisation of engineering production and be able to plan and undertake the manufacture phase of the Design-make-evaluate project.
e) Demonstrate knowledge of the interactions and integration management between engineering systems, environmental and bio-systems and socio-economic enterprise systems in sustainable development
