Credit points: 7.1
Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. W. P. Lewis
Prerequisite: Engineering Design 2A
Contact: 13 hours of lectures and case studies. 26 hours of practical work in engineering design
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
Upon completion of the subject, students will:
- be skilled in synthesising solutions to open-ended design poblems at an intermediate level of complexity in mechanical engineering, and skilled in the management of design projects requiring the solution of such problems
- have gained an appreciation of computer-based methods in concurrent design
- have gained a deep understanding of the concepts and methods of designing for quality, of managing variability and of integrating design with downstream manufacturing operations
Content:
Concurrent design of systems and products: computer-based techniques for geometric modelling, materials selection, service simulations and representation of manufacturing knowledge. Management of variability in product geometry and performance: tolerance technology in 1-D, 2-D and 2-D applications, techniques for robust design. Quality assurance in engineering design: life cycle design, quality function deployment, causal networks and failure modes and effects analyses, ISO 9001 and traceability of critical decisions.
Assessment:
Continuous assessment of projects and assignments during the semester; one two-hour end-of-semester examination.
