Foreword
It is my pleasure to introduce the final year design students’ projectsfrom the School of Design, Engineering & Computing.
The final year project is the culmination of their undergraduate studieswith us and demonstrates the pinnacle of their achievements. We takegreat pride in the quality of project work and the ability of our studentsto employ technology appropriately and effectively in the design ofquality marketable projects.
Design and innovation are of course key drivers in industry and in acompetitive and global marketplace these attributes are becomingincreasingly attractive to employers. In fact many of the projectsdescribed in this brochure are a direct result of industrial collaboration, a successful placement year or are linked to the work of one of ourresearch centres.
Advances in technology, whilst bringing about opportunities for youngdesigners, also provide challenges: appropriate use of the technology,respect for the environment, consideration of the finite resources,amongst other issues. The design projects you will see here take upthis challenge.
On behalf of our students I would like to take this opportunity to thankeveryone who has sponsored and supported our students in theirproject work.

This course preparesgraduates to have theability to analyseengineering products andequipment designproblems, and plan andimplement appropriatesolutions using moderntechniques and tools.It brings togethersophisticated computertools, engineering andcreative design to produceDesign Engineers who areable to design better andmore efficient products.
Over the four years, thestudents develop the flair,creativity and marketperception needed for thedesign of successfulproducts and equipment.
They use the latest solidmodelling, rendering andproduct simulation tools to model and evaluate their designs, which issupported by an in-depthunderstanding ofengineering principles. The students also acquirethe ability to employmodern technologies, such as rapid prototyping,that reduce both productdevelopment time and cost.
I would like to take thisopportunity to thank the course team for their hard work and commitment and tocongratulate the studentson their achievements.

My final project is a new oil skimmer; thisis a mechanical device that collects oilfrom the surface of water. This OilSkimmer is designed for use on all types ofoil spills in the open ocean environment.The skimmer is designed to excel in oilclean-up situations where waves, currents
and debris are encountered. There aremany solutions currently available whichhave good performance in calm, debrisfree situations (which are extremely rarefor an oil spill at sea) but they suffergreatly in rough conditions and don’t caterfor removal of debris.

The Trailer Aid is a retro fit device which isdesigned to fit the majority of trailers thatuse a standard 50mm towing ball. Thedevice has to be designed so that whenthe vehicle is reversing in a straight line,the trailer will keep in line with the it,removing the need for constant correction
of the steering wheel. However, if thedriver chooses to turn, the device willallow it. The Trailer Aid will not remove theneed for driver competence but will reducethe skill and experience needed tomanoeuvre when towing, which will lowerthe risk of costly mistakes and accidents.

My final project was conceived when Irealised how much energy was movingthrough air ducts that wasn’t beingutilised as fully as it could be. I felt it waspossible to extract the energy andgenerate electricity on a micro scale,
augmenting a company’s supply withenergy that was free to produce. I feeldistributed generation will graduallybecome more important in future years,as energy costs increase and fuelsupplies become less reliable.

The “Fly-Away” Bird Scarer involves animitation bird of prey moving along asuspension line across a modernvineyard. Bird damage in Englishvineyards accounts for 10% to 20% of theoverall crop lost and the cost of aneffective Bird Scarer is easily justified.
It can also be applied to other crops andsituations. The innovative Bird Scarerproposed here avoids noise pollution andfamiliarity build-up and works on theinstinctive fear generated by a flying birdof prey.

Computer Aided ProductDesign students use state-of-the-art computertools to exploit the latesttechnology enablingdesigners to model andsimulate entire productswithin a virtualenvironment. There aremany benefits to such anapproach, not least theresultant commercialadvantages associated with rapid productdevelopment and reducedtime to market.
The projects presented atthis year's show are the endresult of four years work.
For a good part of that timemost of the students willhave worked as practisingdesigners in design andengineering relatedindustries. By the end oftheir final year, studentsare expected to be able toprove and defend everyaspect of their work just asthey would if they wereworking on commercialprojects. This means thatthe products you see hereare not merely concepts ofdesign intent, but fullengineered marketableproducts that are ready togo into manufacture.

This year as in the previousyears, the students haveundertaken a wide variety
of projects. Each studenthas identified a specificproblem and produced a design that satisfies the need in terms of price, customer, functionand suitability for industry manufacture.
Please talk to the studentsand look at their work; you should find a wealth of detailed design, care and consideration appliedto each product. Some ofthe students that you willsee will be offeredemployment as a directresult of the show.
On behalf of the studentsand staff, I would like tothank the workshop staff,the final year manager andthe supervisory team.

MoBicycle is a dynamo-powered phonecharger for the cycle touring market. Theinspiration for Mobicycle came from mygirlfriend who had nowhere to store hermobile phone whilst out cycling. Withcycle holidays become increasing
popular, I realised there was a marketthat a phone charger could be pitched to.So I developed Mobicycle to fit in withcycling equipment and provide the userwith a charged mobile phone no matterhow far off road they wanted to go.

The concept is to take a garden up to theskyline away from its naturalenvironment and create a tranquil andcalming atmosphere. The abundance offlowers will give off an array of smells inthe garden and the spices used in the
kitchen will create an incredible aromawhich will fill the space. Low relaxedrecliners, secret pathways and beautifullylit lanterns create a chilled atmospherewhilst the menu intends to bring asophisticated twist.
