This course involves a series of lectures on specialist topics in mechanical engineering design. Specialist topics include: hydraulic power systems; vibration isolation; design optimisation; similitude and scale modelling; risk & reliability. Students will learn to develop their ability in these specialist topics while completing a design assignment and a three day workshop. The assignment and workshop will each involve the application of engineering analysis in one or more of the specialist areas listed above. Students will communicate their designs using: hand sketches; engineering drawings; calculations; and formal technical reports. Students will need to be available to complete the 3-day workshop.
The 3-day workshop will be scheduled as the last examination and will be held at an off-site location. Travel, food and accommodation will be provided.
This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
