Unit description
Applies a systems-based engineering approach to analysis and design of advanced manufacturing systems. A scenario-based learning approach is used to guide students in applying a range of practical tools and techniques along with skills in systems analysis, engineering design and project management to a real industry-based engineering project.
Unit content
Module 1: Load and Stress in Mechanical Design
Module 2: Design of shafts under static and fatigue loading
Module 3: Permanent and non-permanent joints in machine design
Module 4: Springs, bearings and systems
Module 5: Design of clutch, brakes, and coupling
Module 6: Belts and chains
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | employ a systems approach that integrates a detailed technical knowledge of manufacturing design, quality management, and traditional and non-traditional manufacturing processes with other relevant contextual factors to address a complex problem related to advanced manufacturing systems |
| 2 | evaluate and creatively apply advanced engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources including 3D computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to analyse and design solutions to a complex problem related to advanced manufacturing systems |
| 3 | select, define, successfully complete and communicate the outcomes from a complex project related to advanced manufacturing systems |
| 4 | self-assess conduct and performance as a professional engineer in contributing to the successful completion of a complex project related to advanced manufacturing systems. |
