This module is not approved as an Elective

Objectives

The main aims of this module is to:
(i) outline principles and techniques involved in a food product development process;
(ii) demonstrate the application of product design and project management techniques in product development;
(iii) apply experimental design techniques in product design, optimisation and product formulation.

Learning outcomes
On completion of this module students will be better able to:
(i) understand the principles and techniques applied in the design and product development process:
(ii) assemble a product design concept and propose a product feasibility study;
(iii) plan, organise and manage product development projects with project management and product design tools;
(iv) formulate a product design specification that integrates the 'voice of the consumer' by using the Quality Function Development method;
(vi) recognise and apply appropriate experimental design techniques in a product development process;
(vii) evaluate experimental designs using appropriate statistical analysis techniques.

Skills outcomes
On completion of this module students will be better able to:
(i) work together to as a team to address real world situations in product development;
(ii) use statistical programs for experimental design and analysis of experimental data;
(iii) participate in peer-review and develop a capacity for self-audit.
