Applied learning is at the core of defining every graduate's progression to becoming a professional engineer. For mechanical engineering students at University College London (UCL), this is embedded in our curriculum and facilitated at MechSpace. MechSpace is a practical teaching space where students learn to apply their theoretical skills to real-world engineering problems. It's a safe space to try things out, iteratively improve, and learn from those experiences. While having dedicated physical space is a great start for this learning format, it needs to be underpinned by the digital tools at the forefront of Industry 4.0. Autodesk Fusion software serves as the digital backbone for all that we do at UCL, from ultraefficient hydrogen-powered vehicles to minimally invasive heart surgery devices. Using MechSpace as a case study, this talk will explain the benefits of Autodesk Fusion, from hands-on teaching of design fundamentals to enhancing the student-led education experience within UCL.

Generative design is often seen as a new design methodology. However, the key principles of the process mirror the fundamentals of design. In this class, we'll present a case study of how generative design is being used at University College London (UCL) to reinforce the core design curriculum through industrially relevant technology. During this class, you'll gain an understanding of the generative design process, see how you can apply it in an educational setting, and evaluate its use through a real-world example. We'll explore how we can use generative design for multiobjective optimization, and how this can be turned into a hands-on graded assignment that forces students to consider real-world requirements. This will include evaluations of student submissions and analysis of how effective this assignment was at teaching the principles of design, as well as course materials for you to take away and use while running similar teaching exercises.
