Overview
The unit involves students implementing theoretical, practical, and professional engineering
skills into the design of a robotic system. These three engineering elements will have been
covered from a largely theoretical perspective in previous undergraduate degrees. Here, the
focus is on distilling the practicable aspects that are needed in order to realise a successful
design in both digital and physical environments.
Aims
To enable masters level students to develop a range of professional engineering skills through
participation in a multidisciplinary group design exercise
Objectives
1. Demonstrate the ability to contribute effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment
2. Demonstrate an advanced level of learning within a specific area of design
3. Understand how value is added through the process of design and how this value can be
communicated to customers through demonstration
4. Understand the importance of validation within the design process and the value of practical
testing
5. Reflect on personal performance and demonstrate the ability to learn effectively from
experience
