  Course Information
  

  This project course is part of common studies courses in the Mechanical Engineering Master’s Programme. Here, the transferable skills learned in the MEC-E1001 course and the engineering skills learned in the other courses are put in practice. 

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

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

  Credits: 5 ECTS

  Grading: 1 - 5
  

  Teachers in charge: Sven Bossuyt

  Lecture sessions will be held virtually via Zoom. 

  In case of any questions regarding the course, if they may be relevant to others, please ask them on the general discussion forum of the course. If they are unlikely to be of interest to anyone else please contact the assistant Ville Björklund (ville.bjorklund@aalto.fi).
