| Course code : | ME-PRJ1-U1 | ||
| ECTS Credits : | 10 | Status : | Compulsory |
| Revised : | 16/07 2010 | Written : | 26/08 2008 |
| Placement : | 1. semester | Hours per week : | 10 |
| Length : | 1 semester | Teaching Language : | English |
| Objective : | To give students knowledge and background in user-oriented design, applied to mechanical and industrial design processes, and to enable them use this knowledge to describe and assess the technology and materials used in the development of a mechanical product and produce the necessary technical drawings, as well as design new products from the acquired knowledge. To train the students in project planning, team work, communication, written and oral presentations. In addition, the project provides the students with the necessary background in mathematics and engineering statics, which is essential to all other courses of the study program. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • Be innovative in developing concepts for the industrial and technical design of a product. • Produce technical drawings, including assembly drawing, using SolidWorks. • Select the optimal materials, using the CES EduPack Materials and Processes selection software. • Describe and evaluate the design chosen, considering the two aspects of design: Technical the industrial. • Use vector and matrix algebra to solve engineering problems. • Find lengths, areas and volumes of geometrical entities, including solids of revolution. • Find centroids and moments of inertia of geometrical entities. • Apply differentiation and integration to engineering problems. • Apply statics to engineering systems. |
