Modern engineering products rarely rely on a single discipline. From autonomous vehicles and smart manufacturing systems to medical devices and robotics, today's engineers must integrate mechanical, electrical, electronic and computational technologies into reliable, intelligent systems. This module develops the design, programming and systems engineering skills needed to create these next-generation engineering solutions. Working in teams, you will design, manufacture and test an engineering system in response to a realistic design brief, developing your ability to solve open-ended engineering problems through creativity, technical analysis and collaborative working. In Semester 1, dedicated computing and control laboratories, supported by engineering design and manufacturing lectures, will develop your computational thinking, programming and engineering design skills while introducing the core principles required for the project. You will then apply this knowledge throughout a challenging mechatronic design project, integrating sensing, actuation, control and mechanical design to develop, manufacture and evaluate a fully functioning prototype. Throughout the module, you will gain experience of systems integration, project planning, prototyping, testing and design evaluation while developing the teamwork, leadership and communication skills expected of professional engineers. The module is closely linked with Engineering Management and Law, allowing you to apply project management, project risk management and leadership principles within a realistic engineering design environment.

This module follows on from FEEG1201 Introduction to Engineering Design where students are introduced to design processes supported by computing methods. In FEEG2001 students address the design of a system consisting of a number of interacting sub-systems which may include mechanical and electrical parts, sensors, actuators and real-time computational devices.

Students work within a group to practically apply their knowledge to design, build and test an artefact in response to an engineering brief within a proactive environment. Particular focus is placed upon the ability to work as an effective team and realise a coordinated and well-resolved engineering system.

In semester 1 computational and design skills are extended in preparation for a challenging design project in semester 2, in which student teams will respond to one of a number of design project briefs for a mechatronic system with computational control.

The review of the design process as well as the demonstration of the performance of the final design are fundamental to the successful completion of the semester 2 project. The prototype development (built and testing) are supported by the use of various facilities.

This module is linked to FEEG2006 Engineering Management and Law where the management of each group’s semester 2 design project is assessed. This supports the development of effective management and group working skills within the context of designing and delivering a challenging engineering project.

This module follows on from the Part 1 Design and Computing Module where students focus on the design of a functional part. In this Part 2 module students address the design of a ship’s steering system consisting of a number of interacting parts.

This module seeks to expose students to research level studies in a number of areas related to the function of the nervous system, necessary to understand the pathophysiology of neurological conditions. The course will describe CNS development, and the structure and functions of neural cell populations; research into the mechanisms underlying learning & memory; and analyses of neural circuits controlling behaviour. Following this module, students will be expected to be able to integrate their understanding of cellular properties into coherent concepts of system level functions and be able to evaluate examples of current research in this field.
