The aim of this module is for the student to develop a solution to a problem that is presented to them that meets specified objectives. The Project will bring together a wide range of technical skills such as; mechanics, mathematics, materials, manufacturing technology, automation and computer programming. It is also required that students provide a creative, high quality solution and compare their final project against initially stated specifications, aims and objectives. The students are to develop 3D CAD solid models, and 2D engineering drawings to represent their project solutions.
