Overall aims of course
Machine Design is the activity in which engineers accomplish the preceding task, usually by responding to a design imperative for the required task. The design imperative is the result of a problem definition which is subjected to certain solution constraints optimally. The end result of the machine design process is a specification set from which a machine, process, or system may be built and operated to meet the required need.
The student at the end of the course of machine design should gain the knowledge of :
1 – Development and utilization of a design review system specifically emphasizing failure analysis, safety considerations, and compliance with standards and
governmental regulations
2 – Development of a list of modes of operation and examination of the product utilization in each mode
3– Demonstrate knowledge and understanding the basic considerations of machine construction and design
4 – The ability of working within a team-work.
5 – Improving the student’s skills in communication, ability to think scientifically and learn how to express himself properly
2 – Intended learning outcomes of course (ILOs)
