For modules where there is a design engineering output in the form of significant coursework, a module leader or delegated representative selects one item of output for the Design Engineering Selected Innovation REward (DESIRE). This is a prestigious award within the School, and something that all students will, we hope, aspire to win on a few occasions throughout their degree. DESIRE selected works need not necessarily be associated with the top mark or grade scoring project, and can be awarded to a group or individual.
We expect DESIRE to become a badge of honour for Design Engineers. Congratulations to all the winners!
2017/18 winners
Assignment:
Human Centred Wellbeing, Spring & Summer 2018
Statement from Module Leader:
In the first year, students develop a product focusing on human factors. The assignment requires that students balance the demands of an overarching group brand, a product developed through feedback from users and a business model focusing on customers. The final products were assessed by a panel consisting of members of staff and industry assessors. This year, the panel decided to give the award to four individuals whose work stood out in terms of their process, prototyping, business model considerations and contributions to the broader brand.
Winners:
Maria Higgins – Bikefitter (with contributions to the Sporteknik brand)
