436-323 Engineering Design 2D (Environmental)

Credit points: 7.1

Coordinator: Assoc. Prof. W. P. Lewis

Prerequisite: Engineering Design 2B

Contact: 13 hours of lectures and case studies. 26 hours of practical work in enginering design

Timetable: Second semester

Objectives:

On completion of the subject students will:

• be skilled in synthesising solutions to open-ended design problems 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 allowing for environmental impacts, 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 enginering design: life cycle design and environmental impact, 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.
