Content (course unit)

The planning follows the initiation stage. Typically the planning begins with creating various solutions and choosing the best one to implement. Design tasks are divided into sections: machine design, electric design and automation design. It is important for the group to work together so that every member of the group knows what the others are doing and are able to comment on each others’ work. The work is documented into the learning diary.
The results of the planning phase are drawings and other documentation which enable acquisitions and implementation of the project.
