Course overview

This course focuses on design of mechanical systems and offers students practice-based learning on industry-relevant methodology, principles and standards for a well-documented design and selection using available materials and machine components. It will draw from the knowledge of dynamics and expand on the lessons learned in the Mechanical Engineering Practice and Design Project. After completing this course the students will acquire a refined knowledge on design principles for mechanical systems and mechanical design practice. This course is a third-year core for Mechanical Engineering undergraduate programs.

Course learning outcomes

  • Apply an appropriate design methodology and discuss the legal implications of the design process
  • Select appropriate materials and safety factors to satisfy design requirements
  • Design mechanical components for strength and deflection with regard to safety standards
  • Include consideration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) impact of design and manufacture
  • Correctly select standard components from manufacturer's catalogues
  • Produce a formal design report, including GANTT Charts, cost details, risk assessment and Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)
