  1. Engineering Design - H150 A new degree programme which started in 2001

  2. Why this new degree? • All major projects are interdisciplinary • Interdisciplinary working at degree level is rare or non-existent • Leaders of interdisciplinary projects need to be able to understand enough of all the participating disciplines

  3. Who wants the graduates? • The Royal Academy of Engineering • ARUP • W.S.Atkins • Airbus • British Telecom • Corus • GKN • VetcoGrey • Motorola SmithsAerospace • Hewlett-Packard • Arup • Renishaw • Rolls-Royce Weir S&H

  4. Why is this degree so good? The students • The students are brilliant

  5. Why is this degree so good? The students • The students are brillianthttp://www.cabotquartet.co.uk/ • They will really know their Engineering basics • They will understand the context: environmental, legal, social • They will have worked on designs in multi-disciplinary teams

  6. Why is this degree different? • Multi-disciplinary design • Placements in our companies • Large scale design by project groups • Backed by major companies • Research & Communication

  7. SET Exhibition of EngD Bridge

  8. 2004 8UF + 24CF = 27 arrived Winning Crane

  9. Front view of Winning Crane

  10. Three Cranes

  11. Research & Communication • One eighth of the programme • Economic, social, environmental understanding • Communication skills https://www.fen.bris.ac.uk/engdesign/year4/Research&Communication4/QsforR&C45.htm • A real understanding of all fundamentals

  12. Large scale design projects • Big futuristic design concepts • Develop the ideas and technologies in years 1,2,4 • Groups find solutions in year 5 • Companies inspire and fund ideas

  13. This Year’s Large Scale Projects • Renishaw – Automated Assembly of high precision probe • AIRBUS – Seaplane Freight terminal • Motorola – Robot Security Guard • ARUP – Avon Barrage • Atkins – Wing Strut design in Composites

  14. Avon Barrage Project

  15. Avon Barrage – lock for ships

  16. BLADE explores Extreme Dynamics of: • High rise buildings • Aircraft components: wings, rotors . . . • Bridges • Process plants • Anything where dynamic behaviour is important

  17. BLADE – One of the new Labs

  18. BLADE & Other Facilities

  19. Why choose this degree? • Built in links to good companies • Experience – helps you get the sort of job you want • Small group course – wonderful people • Exciting large scale group projects

  20. The Admissions Problem 1 • Courses usually make 3 to 4 offers per place • Some applicants fail to make the offer, some prefer to go elsewhere • The result is a random set of students

  21. The Admissions Problem 2Engineering Design needs: • 4 Aeronautical • 4 Civil • 4 Computer • 4 Electrical • 4 Engineering Maths • 4 Mechanical • You don’t get this by chance!

  22. So What happens! • If we want you ie you have passed your interview • And you want to come then – barring a serious accident you come: • 2001 30CF = 26 arrived • 2002 1 UF + 17CF = 17 arrived • 2003 9 UF + 21CF = 29 arrived

  23. But - You are part of the selection process • Don’t come on this course unless you are seriously ambitious • Don’t come on this course unless you know you are seriously bright

  24. Questions please.

  25. Design Case Studies in Year 1 • Power Distribution Pylons & Cables • Heat Exchanger for Power Plant • How to make loudspeakers speak differently • Stayed cable & membrane roofing • Computer controlled car robots
