Unit Code: MCD533

Unit Name: Machine Design

Description: Students will examine the techniques used in designing, analysing, and selecting machine components. Develop students’ concepts of the design process and the production of standard features. Details you will study include shafts, belt and chain drive components, wire rope, fasteners, bearings, springs, couplings, gears, clutches and brakes. Students should clearly understand the role of standards, tolerances, material selection, specifications and production techniques in successful design. Analyse and discuss current and traditional engineering design solutions to expand the understanding of design restraint and product demand.
