This course develops engineering design skills with a particular focus on the proficient use of modern CAD-integrated analysis tools for optimising product attributes. Modern CAD software is used to produce detailed part and assembly models, which students then analyse for mechanical failure, build and physically test. Students then use those results to produce an improved product design that is ready for manufacture. Major topics include the recursive nature of the product design process, CAD-integrated analysis (of stress/strain, thermal loading, dynamics, motion of assemblies & linkages), integration of design with the manufacturing processes (DFMA). The course involves the development of solutions to wide-ranging design problems, practical engineering fabrication and assembly, investigation into product performance using computer analysis tools and physical testing, individual and team work, and effective communication regarding design solutions.
