As part of my materials module, I did a coursework around Bike Frame materials. It was quick, engaging and focused on problem analysis. The project tested my report writing and presentation skills. Technical marking points included:
- Analyse the technical requirements needed for a specific product and develop figures of merit for different design targets
- Utilise the CES Edupack software to perform technical and quantified selection of materials based on the developed figures of merit
- Understand the role of materials experience in addition to technical select and apply semantic differential scales to create a systematic way of selecting materials.
