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 3-D applications, techniques for robust design. Quality assurance in engineering 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.
