Description

Capstone product design project. Students work in groups to devise and develop design ideas, build and test their design prototypes and evaluate performance. Ideally, projects will be devised in collaboration with an industry partner. A final report will include the design specifications, idea generation, prototyping and evaluation, recommended manufacturing methods and an economic analysis. The final project may form the basis of an entry to an approved internationally recognised student design competition such as the Warman Design and Build Competition (Australiasia) or the James Dyson Award (International).
