Engineering Product Design

The course aims to introduce to you the engineering design process, the role of designers and the systematic engineering design process (including needs finding, product planning and definition, conceptual, embodiment and detailed design) through a product design project.

You will learn to creatively sketch out engineering/product ideas and produce engineering drawings to the relevant standards and communicate effectively design ideas and solutions. You will also practice basic theories and design calculations of machine elements and learn to apply the following:

• Machine elements and components appropriately in a product design project.
• PLC technology in the control of the mechanical system in the design of the product.
• Systematic procedures in the selection of materials in designing a product.
• Tools for the product cost estimation in designing a product.
