Summary
This unit takes a very thorough guided tour through the design process and the many varied routes that can be taken. From idea generation, through to planning and prototyping, critical evaluation, testing and modification, lessons look at how to get the best from an NEA project brief. Also considered is the selection of tools and equipment and the strategies employed to achieve accuracy in manufacturing.
