Course Objectives: 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.
