There are no pre-requisites for this module to be added

This module covers the Design of mechanical components such as bearings, shafts, gears, fasteners, and springs and enables their application in product design. It also covers the understanding of reverse engineering, product architecture, Design for Failure Mode Effects Analysis, and Design for manufacturing and assembly.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Analyse a set of requirements, produce appropriate mechanical design concepts to meet them, and make informed judgements on the adequacy of alternative proposals.

LO2: Develop an efficient mechanical design embodiment for an engineering system.

LO3: Reverse engineering a mechanical product to analyse product architecture and develop Design for Manufacture & Assembly.

LO4: Appropriately select and apply a number of formal engineering design methods, including Design for Failure Mode Effects Analysis.
