MEEN2005W Design 1

Academic Year 2022/2023

This module covers a wide range of mechanical engineering design subjects, including Computer Aided Design, materials analysis, component deign and system design.

In addition to lectures, the students spend practical sessions in the design laboratory getting practical experience of mechanical design problem solving, computer aided modelling, design and components selection, under either individual independent work or teamwork environment.
