Engineering design is the activity in which the engineering sciences are put to practical purposes. This subject traces the engineering design process from identification of need, through methodology and analysis, documentation and information, to discussion of common machine elements and engineering materials. Students should gain an understanding of: the linkages between engineering science and engineering practice; some methodologies and techniques of engineering design; the documentation and communication of design; the use of standards in engineering and engineering design; and the use, properties and purpose of commonly used machine elements and materials.

Topics include: design methodology; machine elements; computer-aided design; materials and processes in design; and using standards, codes and handbooks.

Assessment: Typically assessment for this subject involves design assignments, CAD design and a final quiz.
