What this paper is about

Edit What this paper is about Content
ENGME580 is a Project Based Learning (PBL) paper that teaches students the innovation and product development process. Students will be required to work with a client to identify a range of everyday products for re-design, or if possible produce a completely new product. Working with the client, screen the product ideas to select the best one. Using the design process and computer aided engineering tools, develop the product idea into a 3D printed prototype. The final product prototype will be presented to the client and critiqued. In addition to the material taught on this paper, students will be required to apply material learnt in several previous papers

How this paper will be taught

Edit How this paper will be taught Content

This paper is taught through one keynote lecture and one Project Based Learning (PBL) workshop session per week. The workshops will include client meetings, case studies and lectorials to help guide students through the project. The assignment enables students to apply ENGME580 material and that from other engineering papers to undertake product development for a client from idea to prototype.It is recommended that students work in groups of 3. Groups of 1 or 2 are allowed if approved by the paper convenor (Mike Duke).

The assessment will be based on the quality of the work for the hours allocated: Three students - 450 hours total study, Two students - 300 hours total study, One student - 150 hours total study

For teaching weeks 1-6 (weeks 9-14 on UoW calendar), the workshop will be on Friday 10:00 - 12:00 in MSB.1.02 or a scheduled on-line Zoom/Slack meeting.

For teaching weeks 7-12 (weeks 17-23 on UoW calendar), the workshop will be on Friday 10:00-12:00 in LSL.1.16 or a scheduled on-line Zoom/Slack meeting.

How you will be assessed

Edit How you will be assessed Content

The assessment of this paper comprises three linked assignments covering the following aspects:

1. Assessment 1 - Co-design, Innovation process and screening, intellectual property and basic business plan. This will be assessed by interview with two staff. (40%)

2. Product development; customer requirements, modelling, dirty prototyping, design, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools, plastic injection mould design, costing, sustainability and 3D printing. This will be assessed by written technical report. (40%)

3. Pitching product to client, including prototype demonstration. This will be assessed by presentation to a client. (20%)

There are marking rubrics for each assignment on Moodle.

Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
