The goal of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to develop their digital design skills and experience of digital manufacturing. Students will be introduced to digital methods for design creation, simulation, optimisation, and manufacture. Students will experience manufacturing capacities and design techniques used in industry, giving insight into the digital design processes they may employ in their future career.
1. Students will be familiar with industry-standard computer-aided design packages and administrative procedures to plan for, and execute, detailed product design in an efficient, repeatable manner.2. Students will become proficient at creating designs, manufacturing outputs, and/or programming for subtractive manufacturing techniques.3. Students will become proficient at creating designs, manufacturing outputs, and/or programming for additive manufacturing techniques.4. Students will be able to select from, and implement, a variety of advanced digital design tools to aid in the product design process.Classification: In-Confidence5. Students will be able to use simulation tools to assess general structural viability and optimise their designs in response to predicted in-service loading.6. Students will be able to select from a arrange of advanced design tools such as topology optimisation and generative design to construct and/or optimise high-performance geometries.7. Students will gain awareness of the cost, scale and practical implications of the techniques employed and assess their viability in future design projects.
Either (ENME201 and ENME221) or (PROD112 and PROD211)
Students must attend one activity from each section.
