Description
Aims:
The module aims to further develop students鈥� ability to apply nature-inspired methodologies, based on the knowledge obtained in earlier modules, to design new processes or products for various applications.
Synopsis:
The module further develops students鈥� ability to apply nature-inspired methodologies, based on the knowledge obtained in earlier modules, to design new processes or products for various applications. These typically require interdisciplinary collaborations. The design projects may be developed together with industry partners. Lectures, tutorials and group meetings are included to provide training in the techniques and tools required to carry out the design projects.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion, the students will be able to:
- apply nature-inspired methodologies to inform innovative process and/or product design.
- understand the context of the design in terms of: business requirements; technical requirements; principles of sustainability; high ethical and professional standards; requirements on health and safety, equality and diversity.
- identify the limitations of current practice;听 beware of research and developments in relevant technologies and their potential impact on current practice.
- develop and apply a range of transferrable skills, working individually and in teams to manage the processes of: peer challenge, planning, prioritising and organising team activity; the discipline of mutual dependency.
