Abstract
Practical undergraduate activities involving large cohorts require considerable materials planning, particularly when many parts are manufactured. A new method is discussed which improves the ordering and control of materials. The method moves from a paper-based system to a database which contains all the materials requirements for easier processing by academic and technical staff. The ability to process more materials enables a prototype with more functionality to be set for the students to design. Additionally, the ordering process requires an input from the students which gives them wider experience of the role of an engineering designer.
