| Summary of Module |
|---|
The design through manufacturing cycle now relies heavily on computer assisted methods to convert conceptual design into consumer and industrial products. This module will introduce students to various manufacturing/machining case scenarios. These (product based machining) scenarios and case-studies encompass manufacture of automotive, aerospace, die and mould engineering components. This module will cover manufacturing methods and techniques currently used within these application sectors, focusing strongly on the application of the methods to manufacture a component through machining simulation and generation of Machine Control Data. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of number of topics ranging from process planning to machining strategy selection.
Subject matter will be delivered mainly by a series of lectures and an innovative programme of laboratory demonstrations using 5 axis CNC machining facility were the practical nature of the module will be emphasised and students will gain experience in using state-of-the-art design and manufacturing software. During the course of this module students will develop their UWS Graduate Attributes. Academic Universal and Work-ready attributes: Students will gain knowledge and understanding of this important discipline as well as having the opportunity to develop a broad range of ICT, technical and transferable skills.
This module has been reviewed and updated, taking cognisance of the University’s Curriculum Framework principles. For example, module will be delivered mainly by an innovative laboratory demonstrations, recorded lecture content supporting students to organise their own study time and the use of real-world practical problems, industry standard Computer Aided Engineering activities developing digital intelligence meta-skills.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
