LEARNING OUTCOMES

After this course, students

  1. can relate theory and exercises from other courses to practical issues in machine design
  2. can iterate a design from the initial concept to a working prototype
  3. can organise and document their contribution within a team-based effort
  4. are familiar with typical issues in project management and teamwork, and ways to address those issues

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    Students, working in teams, will complete a specific mechanical design task, representative of mechanisms used in machines. They will develop an initial concept, build a prototype to demonstrate its working, carry out more detailed designs of critical components, and test the prototype.

    Project-based learning in this course will be supported by the theory and exercises taught in the courses from the common studies, taught concurrently.

Assessment Methods and Criteria

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    The course grade is based on exercises, meeting the deadlines set for milestones in the project, and on students individual contribution to the team effort.
