Subject Synopsis/
Indicative Syllabus
This subject facilitates students to develop their ability in applying various
computer-aided technologies on product development with the aim to:
1.
enable them to understand various computer-aided technologies and their
application on design, analysis and manufacture of new products;
2.
provide them with the platform to apply appropriate methodologies and
software tools involved in product design;
3.
provide them the opportunity to function in a multidisciplinary team.
Upon completion of the subject, students will be able to:
a.
model product geometries; share and reuse product information in new
product development;
b.
analyse and optimise a product within realistic constraints by applying
appropriate methods;
c.
communicate (oral, written, graphical, and numerate) effectively.
Students are required to work through the various stages step-by-step from
conceptual design to implementation and evaluation. The subject is expected to
cover the following topics:
1. Digital Mockup Generation
Mechanical CAD modelling for machine elements; Freeform CAD modeling
for consumer products: class A surface & 3D texture; Assembly & mechanism
modelling; Reverse engineering; Virtual sculpting.
2. Virtual Verification
Rendering and animation; Engineering analysis: structurally, thermal, motion
& mechanism, CFD; Direct digital manufacturing: rapid prototyping.
3. Concurrent Collaboration
PDM: configuration, version & change management, security, BOM & parts
file management, inter-operatability; viewer sharing.

Teaching/Learning
Methodology
This is an activity-orientated subject which adopts a project-based learning
approach. Although no formal lectures are given, briefings/seminars and
laboratory/tutorial sessions are available to provide students guidelines and
assistance in conducting the project. Students are divided into groups of about
five members and work on a product-based project. The teaching and learning
activities in each stage of the project are used to facilitate students to achieve
the intended learning outcomes by reflection, imitation, and experience.
Feedback will be given to students for making improvement.

In each of the assessment components above, it consists of both “group work”
and “individual work” to reflect the students’ performance. The progress of the
project is assessed periodically to monitor the students’ achievement towards
the intended learning outcomes (a), (b), and (c) via seven progress assignments.
Final oral presentation and report allows students to demonstrate their abilities
in presenting their projects clearly and logically including the project
objectives, their approaches to solve the problem and the deliverable of their
projects. It is appropriated for the assessment of all intended learning
outcomes.
