Module Summary: [from the Definitive Module Record]

This module introduces stress analysis and appropriate numerical methods in the context of composite materials, and
integrates the learning in a practical assignment to produce a prototype composite component.

Module Aims [from the Definitive Module Record]

1. To integrate the learning from the Composites Design and Manufacture module to support the manufacture of real engineering composites.
2. To produce a prototype composite engineering component as defined by an appropriate design specification.
3. To extend the theoretical basis to more advanced topics and broader philosophical considerations.

Assessed Learning Outcomes [from the Definitive Module Record]

1. Integrate the learning from the Composites Design and Composites Manufacture modules.
2. Design and produce a prototype composite component with regard to regulatory frameworks and the principles of sustainable development.
3. Extend the theoretical basis of composite materials to include more advanced topics and broader philosophical considerations.
4. Apply appropriate design and analysis tools and techniques for laminated, anisotropic structures.
5. Develop written communication, analysis, and teamwork, competences through practical work conducted in a professional manufacturing environment.

• C1: Choose a component, write a Product Design Specification (PDS), agree a design within the group, manufacture tooling,
  manufacture one or more prototypes, test against the PDS, and present the results as a report [100% of the module].
