Course Objective:To develop design skills according to a Conceive-Design-Implement-
Operate (CDIO) compliant methodology. To apply engineering sciences through learning-
by- doing project work. To provide a framework to encourage creativity and innovation.
To develop teamwork and communication skills through group-based activity. To foster self-
directed learning and critical evaluation. To provide a basis for the technical aspects of the
project a small number of lectures are incorporated into the module. As the students would
have received little in the way of formal engineering instruction at this early stage in the
degree course, the level of the lectures is to be introductory with an emphasis on the physical
aspects of the subject matter as applied to the ‘Mangonel’ project. The lecture series include
subject areas such as Materials, Structures, Dynamics and Digital Electronics delivered by
experts in the field.
This module is delivered using a combination of introductory lectures and participation by
the students in 15 “activities”. The activities are executed to support the syllabus of the
course and might take place in specialised laboratories or on the open ground used for firing
the Mangonel. Students work in groups throughout the semester to encourage teamwork,
cooperation and to avail of the different skills of its members. In the end the students work
in sub-groups to do the Mangonel throwing arm redesign project. They assemble and
operate a Mangonel, based on the lectures and tutorials assignments of mechanical
engineering they experiment with the working, critically analyse the effect of design
changes and implement the final project in a competition. Presentation of the group
assembly, redesign and individual reflection of the project is assessed in the end.
