Objectives
Designed to meet the needs of students and employers, the course aims to produce design-oriented problem solvers. It is a studio-based course developed from a long history of design teaching at Huddersfield. Students have gained numerous design prizes in national and international competitions over the last 16 years. There is a significant emphasis on problem solving which stimulates creativity, imagination and lateral thinking. The application of engineering analysis to real engineering problems and the expansion of your knowledge through learning-by-doing is a key feature. We provide a series of design modules which target an area of engineering through a variety of design approaches. These include reverse engineering, investigative projects, failure analysis, open ended and tightly constrained design projects. Our approach demonstrates the relevance and application of taught material, consolidates what you have learned and promotes an acute awareness of professional responsibility.
