Abstract

A great number of the recent changes in engineering design education have been introduced to reflect the need for more engineering applications in engineering degree programmes in UK universities. These changes include final year projects based engineering design education, group projects and industrially supported live projects. These listed changes have brought about many benefits, however they have also raised many new problems. One of these particular problems is how to incorporate the concept of 'design for safety' into engineering design education. This paper presents the development of the incorporated 'design for safety' into engineering design programmes. The described developments are based on a common philosophy, occurred at engineering design programmes in UK universities. The author offers his reflections, from his different perspectives on the implementation of these novel measures, together with pointers to enhance both design education and need of industry in the future. The aim of this paper is to provide a recommendation for developing and improving higher education in engineering design.
