Summary
This is a continuation module about Mechanical Design Principles and Methods. The methodology available for design is described and further machine elements are introduced and analysed. Practical experience of the design process is obtained through design assignments and a group design-and-make project.
Target Students
Students registered on the Mechanical Engineering programme at The University of Nottingham Ningbo China.

Educational Aims
To introduce design methodology through the entire design cycle from establishing users' needs, generating creative concepts to developing fabricable engineered solutions. To develop knowledge of machine elements and mechanical systems. To develop enhanced skills in using CAD tools, communicating effectively in a team environment and operating machine tools for manufacturing and testing of design.Learning Outcomes
| On successful completion of this module students will be able to:LO1- Demonstrate understanding of the fundamentals of design methodology and apply them in solving real life design problems;LO2- Appreciate the function and working mechanism of machine elements, and select suitable machine elements in mechanical design;LO3- Solve deterministic and in-deterministic design problems by conceptualisation and, analytical evaluation;LO4- Communicate design solutions using CAD models and engineering drawings;LO5- Operate machine tools in workshop safely and efficiently to manufacture and test designed system;LO6- Communicate effectively within team working environment and to a wider audience. |
