Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
Basic mechanical engineering courses from different areas.Intended learning outcomes
The course provides knowledge of the design process and design methodology.
The course also provides skills in using some parts of the design methodology.
After completing the course students will be able to:
- attack a minor mechanical engineering problem in a systematic manner using general design methodology from identification of requirements through concept selection to a layout.
- describe and explain the mechanical design process.
- develop a set of requirements in the form of a so-called design criteria list.
- describe and interpret a QFD matrix
- explain and use the concepts of function, technical principle and technical solution/means.
- describe and explain existing technical systems / products in terms of the above.
- be able to describe and use a creative method suitable for technical problem solving
- in a smaller group be able to carry out both oral presentations and a written report on a minor design task where the above presented theory is applied.
- describe for some so-called DFX areas and how a design can be adapted for these.
- explain how patents work.
Course content
The design process, designer's role, development of specifications, concept generation, concept evaluation, detailed engineering, etc
Teaching and working methods
The course is organized in a number of lectures interspersed with lessons in which exercises in design methodology is implemented.
