Design synthesis, fundamental principles of standard design elements, mechanical and fluid power elements, formal mechanical design drawing requirements, component specification and optimization

To understand the design process and to apply the scientific principles and techniques for analyze and solving open-ended design problems of various mechanical components commonly, such as screws, bearings, gears, etc. In addition to lectures and homework, a design project will be assigned. The design project will be a team effort, with three students making a team. Some of the goals for the design project are i) to apply modeling and design principles to the analysis of an engineering problem, ii) to evaluate the student's ability to work by teams, iii) to grade the student's ability to plan, organize and distribute tasks. Student participation on the design project will be graded according to the fulfillment of the goals above. Each student must have a thorough understanding of the design concepts worked out by the other students in the team. If mistakes are made by one member, but accepted by the team, the grade of the team will be penalized (although may be in lesser degree).
