Aim: Begin engagement with engineering design and practical work. Appreciate and understand design processes within the context of sustainable development. Be able to think critically in the context of open-ended problems and solutions in engineering using creativity and innovation tools. Be able to research information from a range of sources and reference accurately, and to communicate effectively using written technical English, hand drawing and CAD, and other IT tools.
Description: The assessment includes 2 tasks, as follows:
1- Investigate a case study of the engineering design process. Write a report including an explanation and analysis of the case study. The explanation must include sketches and drawings that comprehensively present details of design objectives, design constraints, functions, specifications, design alternatives, mode and analyze, test and evaluate, and optimize. The explanation should be broader to cover stages of manufacture.
2- Present a summary of the case study. Summarize the main milestones of the case study's design process. The summary must reflect a comprehensive understanding of the case study design process.

Coursework is to be submitted to Turnitin. You will find a link to Turnitin from the Assessments area in Moodle. You will need to ensure that your assessment is uploaded as a single document, and in the correct format (e.g. a Word document or PDF – the acceptable file formats are displayed on the screen when you come to submit via Turnitin). When submitting, please enter your student ID number in the "submission title" box. The document itself should contain your student ID number in a header or footer; your name should not be visible in the work. Turnitin generates an Originality Report, and you are encouraged to make use of this facility as a support tool to help you ensure the source material in your assignment is correctly referenced before final submission. You will be able to submit revised drafts of your work until the specified due date. Only the final version of your coursework will be marked by your tutor. On the due date and time, no further submissions or changes are possible.
