Outcomes The student will:

  • 1 identify a client need and create an engineering design brief

    • 1.1 investigate engineering design meeting human, environmental and cultural needs

    • 1.2 consider personal and industrial requirements, including:

      • 1.2.4 schedules

      • 1.2.5 environment

      • 1.2.6 client needs

  • 2 produce a design solution that addresses human and/or environmental needs

    • 2.1 structure a plan for resolution; e.g., concept drawings, thumbnail sketch

    • 2.2 produce engineering drawings according to the needs set in the design brief, including:

      • 2.2.1 assembly
