ENG08030 2019 Engineering Design 401

Access and assemble relevant information from reference sources (e.g. standards, materials and patent databases).

Develop a design specification consistent with client, sustainable and ethical requirements.

Apply mathematical and engineering science analyses to the optimal design of a machine.

Formulate engineering design decisions based on sound criteria, analysis and evaluation.  

Generate a professional report on the detailed design process including the structured presentation of computer-generated graphical output.

Fulltime
The theoretical and background material will be presented through a series of lectures, including project based learning. 

Online
This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. The theoretical and background material will be presented through a series of online lectures.  Student will be required to attend for one practical day to gain skills in the software required.  The learning outcomes are achieved through project based learning.

Students are expected to avail of the resources in moodle and to assess the design problem and finally propose and evaluate a solution.

Continuous assessment with submission of design reports.

Repeat assessment consists of resubmission of continuous assessment.

Design

Concurrent engineering and the 'Total Design' philosophy.

Creating the Product Design Specification.

Machinery Directive/CE Marking/health and safety.

Analysis  
Stress analysis and component optimisation using Finite Element Analysis. Design project work involves detailed design and optimisation of a machine – with application of spreadsheets for 2D force and stress analysis; component and materials selection.

Production of a Detailed Design Report.
