Design Principles
|
| Ethical behaviour is a central tenet of design engineering. This is extends to concern for the environment and a commitment to sustainable development. | Universal design axioms, basic design, manufacture and operation of mechanical components, "how stuff works", engineering fundamentals and good design practices. | Design factors, mechanical modes of failure, kinematic design principles and systems engineering principles. |
| Value

Safety |
Knowledge
Management |
| Designers analyse alternative schemes and trade-offs are made between performance, cost and risk. Value analysis drives product definition towards the Best Value outcome for all the stakeholders. | Guides for how to build safe products that take account of the people who use them. | Design is a knowledge intense activity. Managing the information and integrating design tools is critical. We offer some basic design tools and you manage the information via a workbook. |
