| Aims: | To introduce the component elements of design.
To enable the student to become acquainted with the basic principles of design, and the design process. To provide fundamental knowledge about materials, their structure and properties. To provide a holistic view of the process and decisions to be taken in real design problems. To enable the student to participate in group working. To use CAD to produce engineering drawings for the manufacture and assembly of parts. |
| Learning Outcomes: | After successfully completing this unit the student will be able to:
* Analyse, select and integrate standard components into detailed designs. * Use a CAD system to produce an orthogonal drawing. * Develop a partial requirement specification from a design brief. * Analyse a problem and select a solution from a range of alternatives. * Produce detailed drawings of components to ensure that they perform the desired function and can be manufactured. * Define the key mechanical properties of engineering materials. * Compare and contrast the engineering properties of metals, ceramics and glasses, polymers and composites and how they are related to bonding, crystal structure and microstructure. * Describe basic structure-property relationships in materials |
