Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH)) |
Mode of activity | Learning & Teaching Activity | NESH (Study Hours) | NESH Description |
Face To Face | Lecture | 27.5 | Lectures will cover the entire product development process, starting from product design specification, concept generation, evaluation and selection, and detail design, including material selection, dimensions and tolerances, and prototyping. These lectures combine tutorials to provide hands-on experience in product development through group work. |
Face To Face | Practical classes and workshops | 22 | These classes provide hands-on work on CAD software (Inventor) that enables students to develop their conceptual design into detailed CAD models (covers part, assembly and presentation modelling). |
Online | Guided independent study | 150.5 | Book references and DIY work will be provided to guide the independent study. |

Type of Assessment | Weighting % | LOs covered | Week due | Length in Hours/Words | Description |
Project - Written | 30 | 1~2 | Week 6 | , WORDS= 1500 | This individual coursework report describes original design solutions generated for an engineering problem that includes requirements from a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate [M5]. The selection of the chosen design incorporates evaluation across a wide range of parameters, including whole life cycle parameters (e.g., production and usage consideration) [M7]. |
Project - Written | 30 | 3~4 | Week 12 | , WORDS= 1500 | This individual coursework report describes detailing the chosen design concept from Report 1. The detail design includes includes a user-centric inclusive assessment for appropriate product usage [M11], and select and apply appropriate materials, for the chosen component with appropriate rationale [M13]. |
Practical Skills Assessment | 40 | 5 | Week 13 | HOURS= 20 | This assignment covers CAD model submission of the selected product concept. This submission includes Part, Assembly, and Drawing sheet submission. The assessment includes communicate effectively on complex engineering designs to technical audience, and evaluating the effectiveness of the methods used [M17]. |
