After this course, students
- can relate theory and exercises from other courses to practical issues in machine design
- can iterate a design from the initial concept to a working prototype
- can organise and document their contribution within a team-based effort
- 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.
Workload
valid for whole curriculum period:
project work
