Aims
This module aims to build on the skills developed in the Level 4 Engineering Practice 1 module by introducing systematic approaches to the design process and to the analysis of mechanical designs for the determination of strength and life. It will provide participants with a practical experience of the design process both as an individual and within a group.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Design a mechanical system which incorporates properly specified standard components
2.
Perform appropriate engineering analysis to support the design process
3.
Evaluate designs according to engineering standards
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This module will build upon the students’ knowledge of standard engineering components by considering design for strength and service life. This will include the use of specifications to determine boundary conditions, loads and other constraints on the design and/or selection of components. In particular:
• Shafts
• Bearings
• Gears
• Fasteners (Nuts, Bolts & Screws)
Standards relating to the design of engineering components will also be introduced and incorporated into the requirements of the assessment.
Additional Information:The Mechanical Engineering Design 2 module aims to build on and apply the skills developed in the level 4 Engineering Practice module and enable engineering students to apply a systematic approach to the design process.
