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 students at the end of the course of machine design will be able to :
1 - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding the basic considerations of machine construction
and design
2 - Recognize and calculate the different methods of force analysis, stresses and deflection
calculations during machine design.
3 - Formulate the stresses, deflections and rigidity during design calculations
4 - Understand and analyze mechanical power transmission systems .
5 - Present fully detailed constructional and working drawings for mechanical elements.
6 - Recognize and calculate the different methods of force analysis, stresses and
deflection calculations during machine design.
7 - Formulate the stresses, deflections and rigidity during design calculations
8 - The student shall attain the aforementioned objectives efficiently under controlled guidance
and supervision while gaining the experience through application and analysis and different
case studies.
