Objective
: The students understand the progress of a design process. They are able to choose the appropriate materials for structures. The students understand the importance of manufacturability and economic factors in product design. They are able to utilize standards as design support. The students are able to design simple structures and the related machine components considering safety and ergonomic factors.
Content
Design process. Material selection. Design for manufacture and assembly. Standardization. Machine safety and ergonomics. Product costs.
Qualifications
The students have the basic knowledge of the strength of materials and they are able to calculate static structures. The students can form a mechanical model of a structure and they can solve the stresses, tensions and deformations. The students can perceive the cases which require more precise and profound strength inspection.
The students know the most common machine elements and their connections.
The students have the basic knowledge of material technology and they know different material groups, their properties and the most common uses in technical applications. The students are able to make workshop- and assembly drawings and they master the 3D modelling and making workshop drawings from a 3D model.
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
Very good (4-5): The student masters the essential knowledge and skills required to get the grade Good (3) and can apply the knowledge acquired in a critical and innovative manner to practical design tasks.
Good (3): The student masters the essential knowledge and skills and can apply them to practical design tasks:
- understands the progress of a design project
- can choose appropriate materials for the structures
- understands the significance of manufacturing technology, economy, standards, safety and ergonomics in product designing.
Satisfactory (1-2): The student is familiar with the basic knowledge and terminology but can only satisfactorily apply them to practical design tasks.
