Description including Unit Aims

This unit gives a year (minimum of 9 contact months) of industrial experience in one of the Engineering Design Degree Programme&�s Industrial Partner Companies. During their industrial experience students are expected to acquire an understanding of the methods of design, the methods of analysis and product development. This is to be complemented by cultivation of a good working knowledge of the technical specialisation associated with the industrial placement. Where relevant, the methods of manufacture used in their chosen industry will also be studied. The students will improve their competence at making both oral and written reports and in planning and managing their workload.
