Unit Code: MEB803

Unit Name: Mechanical Design and Analysis

Description: This unit develops an understanding of the mechanical design process applied to complex engineering systems. It develops, extends and integrates the material covered in Solid Mechanics, Engineering Materials and Manufacturing Technology. The design process is presented as a problem solving, decision making, creative and optimizing activity. Good practice and standard methods in engineering design. Preliminary and detail design involving engineering systems, processes and components using appropriate design tools are included.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Undertake a complex design process from problem statement to final solution using various design tools (WA1-3,5) 2. Perform high-level judgment in a process of mechanical engineering design integrating the wide range of responsibilities of a design engineer when making design decisions. (WA1-5,12) 3. Demonstrate creative thinking ability with problem solving skills(WA2,3) 4. Generate designs of machine components to relevant codes and standards at a relevant professional level (WA3,5) 5. Document designs and communicate these to others in a clear and logical fashion at a relevant professional level. (WA3,5.10) 6. Manage a design process using appropriate tools.(WA1-5,10) 7. Evaluate risk management in a design(WA3,12)
