Supplementary Assessment:	EE40148A - Reassessment Coursework (where allowed by programme regulations)
Requisites:	Before taking this unit you must take EE30147 or equivalent.
Description:	Aims: To give each student the experience of real engineering design situation as part of a group. This Unit builds on the evaluation stage, leading to a detailed design that takes into account both engineering and business aspects. To present these results in written and oral form and to practising engineers at an exhibition. Learning Outcomes: After taking this Unit the student should be able to: * Demonstrate detailed knowledge and understanding of the technical process that is engineering design. * Demonstrate detailed knowledge and understanding of the commercial aspects of engineering. * Work in a multi-disciplinary team. * Develop a business plan. Skills: Working in a team; problem solving; numeracy; written communication; oral communication; IT; leadership. Taught, facilitated and tested. Content: Detailed design/Detailed commercial study. Analysis and simulation. Design for manufacture. CAD. Business plan. Exhibition presentation.
