Aim:
The course provides knowledge of the design process and design methodology.
The course also provides skills in using some parts of the design methodology.
After completing the course students will be able to:
- attack a minor mechanical engineering problem in a systematic manner using general design methodology from identification of requirements through concept selection to a layout.
- describe and explain the mechanical design process.
- develop a set of requirements in the form of a so-called design criteria list.
- describe and interpret a QFD matrix
- explain and use the concepts of function, technical principle and technical solution/means.
- describe and explain existing technical systems / products in terms of the above.
- be able to describe and use a creative method suitable for technical problem solving
- in a smaller group be able to carry out both oral presentations and a written report on a minor design task where the above presented theory is applied.
- describe for some so-called DFX areas and how a design can be adapted for these.
- explain how patents work.
