| Brief description of the Unit |
Within all branches of engineering a practising engineer needs to be able to manage a project and develop designs to solve problems and develop new products. Following the introductory units in the first year this unit will build upon the students knowledge of the design process, sustainability and further their knowledge of the use of computer aided design through a multidisciplinary group project based approach. In addition it will also further develop the students ability to manage projects by developing an understanding of the concepts and tools needed to manage an engineering project. |
