In this course you will actively explore contemporary issues and practices relating to the management of engineering design and research projects and product design in particular in a wide range of industrial settings. In conjunction with this, you will be encouraged to explore in-depth and apply in integrated engineering design and/or research contexts broader issues including critical review of appropriate information, relevant aspects of intellectual property, professional ethics, risk/hazard management, costing, project management, environmental principles and sustainability in general. Contextual studies involving feasibility and value analysis will be used to provide you, working in a team with an opportunity to explore real-world problems relating to product design and development.
