Description

Team-based product design project. Students will work in teams of 3 to 4 to choose a particular product, for which they will write specifications, and then design a production method and final formulation to meet these requirements. Product prototypes will be produced in the laboratory and tested to demonstrate that the specifications have been met. A preliminary marketing strategy will be devised.

Learning Outcomes

  • Students will gain hands-on experience in creating product prototypes and testing them against design specifications
  • Students will be able to carry out a preliminary economic analysis and devise a marketing strategy for the product
  • Students will be able to write a detailed report detailing the design process, approach and outcomes
