- Understand the fundamental principles of product design and development
- Have an understanding of the relationship between product design and manufacturing (design for manufacturing)
- Understand the use of modelling and simulation tools with regards to planning and implementing new manufacturing systems
- Understand the assumptions and limitations of the modelling and simulation tools used in a project.
Skills
- Be able to develop a requirements specification for a manufacturing system through an analysis of customer needs
- Be able to develop solution concepts that satisfy requirements specification
- Be able to identify critical elements of proposed solution concepts.
- Be able to use appropriate modelling and simulation tools for developing solutions
- Be able to formulate a plan for a project's continuation.
Competences
- Be able to professionally participate in the development of new products and manufacturing systems, focusing on the evaluation, selection and implementation of relevant technologies
- Establish the foundation for applying advanced and relevant simulation tools for future research and development activities.
Type of instruction
The module is carried out as group-based, problem-oriented project work. The group work is carried out as an independent work process in which the students themselves organise and coordinate their workload in collaboration with a supervisor. The project is carried out in groups with normally no more than 6 members.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 15 ECTS course module the expected workload is 450 hours for the student.
