Syllabus

  • Week 1: Understanding engineering design
    • Welcome to Fundamental Skills in Engineering Design! The first week of the course will give you a basic understanding of what we mean by 'engineering design', as well as an exploration of the product life cycle. You will learn about the the engineering design process this week too, which is what designers do in order to come up with a new product. This will give you a solid foundation on which to build on in Week 2. Let's get started!
  • Week 2 : Engineering design in practice
    • Welcome to Week 2! This week you will examine some of the soft skills that you will need for a role in engineering design before moving on to look at a case study that will give you the opportunity to think about and practice some of the elements of conceptual design.

    I really enjoyed this course on engineering design. I really enjoyed the extra content in terms of links to interesting topics through YouTube videos also, which integrated really interestingly with the course concepts.

    I think this course is also very good at explaining how soft skills such as communication are vital as hard skills such as mathematical skills for example. Very good course!
