Students are exposed to the principles of machinery and component design. Example topics include springs, bearings, gears, linkages, brakes and clutches, standard hardware, fasteners, tapers. Studies considering what components do, how they do it, how they were made, and possible forms are undertaken. This course provides further exposure to design principles, processes and methods, as used in industry, for requirement analysis, concept design, preliminary design and detail design including CAD. The course will involve a blend of lectures, tutorials and studio-based design sessions with individual and group activities.
