First Year
The first year design courses include Drawing, where the students learn to develop the 3-D visualisation and communication skills needed for engineering design; Product Design, where they receive an introduction to product evolution and the methods used in the first two phases of the design process (Clarification of the Task and Conceptual Design); and Structural Design, where they learn to apply the fundamentals being taught in the Structural Mechanics and Materials courses to a design project, working in a team to plan, design, manufacture and test to destruction a simple structure. In addition, students are encouraged to attend lectures given by industrial speakers on a wide range of relevant engineering applications.
