Aims
This module aims to build on the skills developed in the Level 4 Engineering Practice module by introducing systematic approaches to the design process and to the analysis of mechanical engineering designs. It will provide participants with a practical experience of the design process, allow them to further practice the analytical skills relating to mechanics and to document their work to appropriate design standards.
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 in terms of engineering standards, sustainability and safety.
4.
Document design outputs to appropriate standards.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
- Application of appropriate design methodologies.
- Collaborative design briefs, needs recognition and creation of effective design specifications.
- Concept generation and presentation.
- Evaluation of ideas.
- Design for Manufacture, Bills of Process and process planning.
- Cost estimation.
- Evaluation of the sustainability of a design in terms of the materials and processes which are used and its operational lifecycle.
- Embodiment design, layout planning, part modelling.
- Writing design reports.
This module will build upon the students' knowledge of standard engineering components by considering design factors such as strength and service life. This will include the use of specifications to communicate design intent and other constraints on the design and/or selection of components. In particular: Shafts, Bearings, Gears, Fasteners (Nuts, Bolts and Screws).
Standards relating to the design of engineering components will also be incorporated into the requirements of the assessment, to include dimensioning practice, tolerances, surface finishes.
