Course overview
This course aims to familiarise the students with the practical aspects of professional mechanical engineering. Through presentations, hands-on activities, a design and construction project, and professional analysis, students will acquire and apply a diverse set of practical skills, including communication skills using engineering reports and graphical communication to design, fabricate, and operate small mechanisms. After completing this course, students will acquire basic knowledge of design principles for mechanical systems and mechanical design practice.
- Preliminary designs
- Detailed designs and modelling
- Testing and communications
Course learning outcomes
- Develop fundamental practical knowledge and hands-on skills in mechanical engineering design and practice, with application to a design project.
- Analyse and produce preliminary and detailed designs.
- Produce, measure, analyse and assemble the designed components using relevant practical tools and software, and make performance-based revisions
- Identify and analyse various mechanical mechanisms.
- Effectively communicate engineering design knowledge in both written and graphical form.
