The module aims to provide a solid foundation in the theory and best practice of Innovative Design and Manufacturing and associated advanced technologies that are necessary for innovative design, development and diversification of products and technology services. Comprehensive coverage of concepts and principles of innovative design and manufacturing technologies will be introduced and discussed to systematically enhance the knowledge and background of innovative product development and modern manufacturing systems, including Design Thinking, Design for X, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer Numerical Control (CNC), and associated advanced technologies of CAM such as Computer Aided Inspection (CAI), Additive Manufacturing (AM) and Reverse Engineering (RE), as well as the emerging trends towards Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0. The analytical and practical skills of working with the modern CAD/CAE/CAM/CNC/CAPP systems are developed through the lab sections and literature reviews of technical and economic challenges and case studies. The module also focuses on developing the ability to critically evaluate how a modern organisation could strategically exploit the latest advancement and trends of design and manufacturing technologies, to innovate products and shorten the time for product design and development, taking into account the impacts of Smart Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 as well as Cloud Manufacturing and Supply Chain 4.0.

On successful completion of this module a student will be able to:
LO1 Demonstrate a systematic knowledge and understanding of innovative design and product development.
LO2 Demonstrate a systematic knowledge and understanding of modern CAM systems, innovative manufacturing technologies, and associated emerging and enabling technologies.
LO3 Apply a comprehensive knowledge of innovative design and manufacturing, and associated emerging and enabling technologies and software solutions, for innovative development of products and technology services, as well as innovative manufacturing of components and products.
LO4 Perform a critical evaluation and selection of design and manufacturing technologies and software solutions for innovative development of products and technology services, as well as innovative manufacturing of components and products.

Seminar:
When possible, guest lectures and seminars are provided by leading academics and professionals from industries as well as the visiting researchers and professors.
Lecture:
The lectures are supported with online-learning videos, comprehensive demonstrations, lecture notes and presentations. Additional guides and tutorials are available for students at the end of the main contents of a module. State of the art industrial applications and case studies are used to support presentations, tutorials and in-class activities, with an online access to digital learning materials, discussion forums, and training videos of software and tools.
Group Study:
The problem-based learning group projects and lab sections are designed for students to apply the theories into the practice, as well as to develop both practical and transferable skills.
Self-directed learning:
The blended learning and teaching mode is relevantly applied, with emerging digital learning and teaching tools and resources, such as online-learning videos, to support in-class activities, tutorials and self-learning. Besides the scheduled learning and teaching activities and tutorials, the lecturers provide constructive comments and feedback, to support self-directed learning for students, via the use of the digital learning and teaching platforms, including Microsoft Teams Meeting, Panopto and Moodle.

This is a problem-based learning group project, which aims to meet the core expected learning outcomes of a module and study programmes. Each student must keep an individual logbook in which their own contributions to the group project is highlighted. The individual logbook and peer group assessment forms are used to assess individual contributions to the project.
