Assessment Criteria
This assignment relates to the development of a design solution.
The assignment forms Element 1 of the module’s assessment criteria that covers Learning Outcomes 2 and 3 as indicated below.
MODULE LEARNING OUTCOMES
Personal & Transferable Skills
On successful completion of this module the student will be able to:
1 Present a design solution through a range of communication techniques appropriate to the target audience.
Research, Knowledge & Cognitive Skills
2 Prepare design specifications and solutions to meet a stakeholder’s design brief and requirements.
3 Select, apply and justify appropriate approaches, methods and tools to a variety of engineering design problems.
Professional Skills
4 Produce an industry-standard engineering technical design report.
5 Select and use computer-based technology in the design process.
PASS
MERIT
Criteria in excess of the pass grade.
DISTINCTION
Criteria in excess of the merit grade.
Learning outcomes are satisfied as evidenced by substantially correct analysis and satisfactory design solutions.
Detailed use of analytical tools to formulate appropriate design solutions and presenting a case for the final design choice.
The ability to integrate knowledge from the various areas to produce & evaluate potential design solutions and to fully justify the case
for the final choice.
This TMA will form the basis of a design project which will be completed in TMA 2. You should therefore think carefully about which of the following Case Studies you choose, based on your knowledge of the theory and practice of the product chosen.
For ONE of the case studies given on the next page, complete the following:
1 Derive at least four concept designs to satisfy the given specification. Use short written descriptions and simple sketches to illustrate your ideas. Show evidence of the use of the following techniques when creating your designs:
Brainstorming
Synectics
Morphological Chart
2 Use the weighted objective method to select your best solution from these concept designs.
3 What other information would be required to be able to write a more complete Product Design Specification? (Use an objective tree to clarify and expand upon the vague brief given.
Case Studies
Choose ONE of the following.
(a) As a keen, but economically challenged, cyclist you need a means of carrying two bicycles whilst travelling between destinations on a touring holiday in your small car which has a tow bar fitted.
OR
(b) An analogue/digital circuit trainer is required for students to construct circuits. The design requires:
the ability to build circuits
associated power supply
a suitable waveform generator
a means of measuring current, voltage and resistance
