Description of module content:

Through studio based activities you will explore the inspirational properties and characteristics of materials and manufacturing processes. You will explore limitations and opportunities and define material and structural specifications for innovative design outcomes. This will involve the appropriate selection of materials and processes against a criteria of quality performance. You will be introduced to standard industry terminology, and methods for visual communication of design specification using CAD (3D modelling)
Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Explore how design objectives can be realised through differentiating between material performance data enabling optimised and rigorous selection.

LO2: Examine the merits of selecting materials to give the desired shape and performance utilising specific manufacturing processes against specified criteria.

LO3: Consider how material finishes enhance aesthetic and environmental performance.

LO4: Develop an insight into how material performance can be improved by post process actions.

LO5: Illustrate and describe design outcomes using 3D CAD modelling skills.
