ENG08030 2019 Engineering Design 401
This module investigates design analysis, design optimisation, component selection and material selection within a project based learning context.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
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.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
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.
Module Assessment Strategies
Continuous assessment with submission of design reports.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessment consists of resubmission of continuous assessment.
Indicative Syllabus
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.

Shigleys Mechanical Engineering Design is intended for students beginning the study of mechanical engineering design. Students will find that the text inherently directs them into familiarity with both the basics of design decisions and the standards of industrial components. It combines the straightforward focus on fundamentals that instructors have come to expect, with a modern emphasis on design and new applications. The ninth edition of Shigleys Mechanical Engineering Design maintains the approach that has made this book the standard in machine design for nearly 50 years.
