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!
2016/17 winners
Assignment:
An autonomous flying paramedic service for developing countries (People Pod group project)
Statement from Module Leader:
Thursday 29th June was the final presentation day for the People Pod project. 11 teams presented to an impressive panel of experts, in addition to the teaching team, including: Dr Marcus Abbott, Bentley Motors, Ben Boucher-West, Bosch Mobility Solutions, Philippe Hohlfeld, JLR, Abby Miller, Transport Systems Catapault and John Routledge, JLR. The External Examiner Professor Alison McKay also observed the presentations. The panel were universally in praise of the whole body of work, but there was also strong agreement on the innovation, depth of work and quality of human centred design within the Eider team’s presentation, full size mock up and detailed UI designs.
Winners:
Eider team: Aisha Hussain, Alfred (Alfie) Thompson, Christopher Turner, Daniel Taylor, and Tsz (Hannah) Lau
