Guest lecturers from a wide range of industries will give a lecture on the design process they use in their area. The design process involves many facets such as: Market research; Developing specifications that meet the consumer needs and safety requirements; Formulating design requirements; Performing the design and validating the design; Logistics and procurement for implementing a design, process of ensuring robustness and reliability, release of design, customer interaction, etc. Notetaking is an important skill for engineers to develop as they will attend many meetings where notetaking is critical. Hence there is a requirement to submit a brief lecture review on each Guest lecture. This is not just a summary of the lecture but needs to have a comment on what are the three key “take home” points you learnt. Recording of the guest lecture is not allowed.The guest lecture summaries are worth 5%. These guest lectures are an important part of reaching the learning outcomes for this course, so if you have a legitimate reason for missing a guest lecture please ensure you bring evidence (such as a medical certificate) so that your absence does not count against you.Only those that attend the guest lecture can submit a review of it. Submitting a guest lecture review without having attended the lecture is considered dishonest practice.
