Aim of the Project
This project aims at
using virtual manufacturing applications in the subject
area of product design and manufacture
It is proposed to develop teaching and learning materials
with integrated case study using multi-media format for
illustrating various methods and computer tools in
product design and process analysis
Problem based learning activities would be incorporated
into the various stages of the project

The Digital (Virtual) Factory
A newly established laboratory with world class software
and hardware facilities
To provide an interactive, graphical-based discrete event
simulation environment for students, researchers to model,
develop, experiment, analyze and optimize design and
manufacturing processes in a digital (virtual) environment
prior to production

New Curriculum Under Development
Alongside with the development of the Digital
Factory in the Department, a framework of a new
9 credit student centered learning activity titled
"Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD)"
has been developed.
The activity based on the "Virtual Factory"
concept.
This is to be implemented in the final year of the
BEng/MEng course in Industrial and Systems
Engineering.

Objective
This subject is aimed to integrate the different aspects in
the area of product and process design through an
integrated problem base learning approach.
The learning activities are carried out in the Digital
Factory laboratory, which provides a self learning
interactive, flexible and graphic-based digital simulation
environment for students to model, develop, experiment,
analyze and optimize product design and manufacturing
process including plant layout.

Teaching and Learning Approach
The subject is conducted with problem based approach.
The student group has to determine the knowledge they
need to master in order to complete the task requirements.
The knowledge is arranged as a range of study modules
which are available to the students for choosing.
These modules are designed with student-centered nature,
with coverage of differing virtual design and
manufacturing tools.
A mixture of lectures, briefings, seminars, tutorials,
simulation exercises and case studies will be used to
deliver the various topics so that students are able to
complete the task activities.
At the end each student is required to compile an overall
portfolio to illustrate the learning outcomes.

Case Study - Rapid Product Development
This case study deals the adoption of concurrent
engineering can take advantages of information systems
to synchronize the data and help to provide a virtual
collaboration among the users.
The case example illustrates how the isolated islands of
functional unit can be grouped together through the
adoption of concurrent engineering concept, thus bringing
an integrated view of a company's knowledge sources to
an individual's desktop, enabling better decision making
by providing immediate access to key business
information.
The package is available on a CD with instructions for the
students and guidance notes for the teacher.
