Course Description

This course covers the basics of machine design, including the design process, engineering mechanics and materials, failure prevention under static and variable loading, and characteristics of the principal types of mechanical elements such as shafts.

Objective

With this course, students should be able to synergize forces, moments, torques, stresses and strength information to analyze, design and/or select machine elements with involvements of safety and manufacturing considerations. In addition, it will help develop students’ ability to solve open-ended engineering problems through assignments and exams.

Target Audience

This course is ideal for mechanical, aerospace, automotive and manufacturing engineering students and graduates. The course is beneficial for engineers in industry that would like to expand their knowledge about machine design and different mechanical components.

Level of Course

This course is basic to intermediate. Students are expected to have some engineering knowledge in static and material science before joining the course. Student can also learn the required pre-requisites while taking the course.

Learning Objectives

1.Understand the fundamentals of machine design.

2. Understand the stress analysis and material properties in application towards machine element design problems using a mechanical engineering knowledge base.

3. Analyze mechanical systems and components.

4. Determine an appropriate factor of safety for various machine elements and how to apply factors of safety on static and dynamic systems.
