4 points * 22 lecture hours, 22 tutorial and laboratory hours * First semester * Clayton * Prerequisites: CIV1210, MEC1410, PHS1810 * Corequisites: MEC2410, MEC2440
Objectives The development of skills in applying techniques for the systematic solution of engineering design problems, basic forming and machining processes and an understanding of the requirements for, and techniques available for design communication. The student is expected to develop an ability to choose and specify geometrical aspects of artifacts to suit at least one forming process and a range of machining processes and an ability to solve engineering design problems with incomplete specifications.
Synopsis Model of design, problem definition, solution generation; systematic and random methods. Decision making; compromises. Traditional manufacturing methods: forming; casting, pressing and forging: machining; turning, milling, drilling, threading, grinding, etc. Joining methods: welding, adhesive, rivetting, bolting, keys etc. Safety factors and design analysis. Production of layout drawings, report writing. Design projects involving applied mechanics.
