Syllabus Outline

The key aim of the course is to establish design practices through lectures, coursework and self-learning. Itemphasises practical hands-on design approach with 'real' components. The course include:

* Using standard mechanical components (fasteners, seals, bearings, etc.) and features (location, limits and fits,welds, stress raisers, etc.)

* Selection or specification of bought-out equipment (making use of catalogue library and Technical Index).* Use of I-DEAS solid modelling software.* Integration of analytical areas, especially stress analysis, into the design process.* Selection of materials. For example, heat treatment of metals, structure behaviour and manufacturing process

of ceramics.* Composite structures, anisotropic conditions, high performance composites, metal matrix and ceramic matrix

composites.* Failure mechanisms in components and materials: fatigue, creep, corrosion and fracture toughness.

Mechanisms involved in these failures.* Design and material selection to overcome likely failure modes. NDT and non-destructive evaluation,

techniques. Case studies of failure.


Lectures introduce theoretical concepts and present practical examples used in mechanical design and studentsconduct several individual assignments, using both drawing board and CAD, covering various aspects of thelearning material.

Reading Strategy

Students will not be expected to purchase a set text for this module. Essential lecture notes will be providedelectronically. A printed study pack will be provided for the design component of the module.

Syllabus Outline

Illustrative examples of topics to be presented in the module include:

Projects and stakeholders. Project life-cycle models. Customers\' requirements analysis and capture. Systemmodelling and validation. Feasibility studies. Goal setting. Work breakdown structures and schedule controlsystems. Project team structures. Team-building and management. Project control techniques and managementstrategies.

Groups may also receive presentations of domain specific material appropriate to the project that they areundertaking.


The module is structured to encourage students to put into practice and develop their domain competences in aframework that will also develop their professional management skills.

Students will form into groups of typically 6 to 8 having received initial guidance on team dynamics. The projectswill proceed in parallel with keynote lectures to introduce topics and guide student-centred learning with supportmaterial mounted on the internet. Students will be required to operate within a set of guidelines which will mandatea professional standard of record keeping both by individuals and the team. Teams will receive guidance andsupport during their team meetings which we be held in the tutorials. Much of the project work will be undertakenoutside the taught sessions.

Students will be assessed on the basis of group presentations, group reports and evidence of individual effort. Theassessment will take into account both the professional practice demonstrated in the management of the projectsand outcomes of the projects themselves. The projects will proceed in phases and the overall assessment will bebuilt up from the performance in each of these. Students will receive feedback at each phase review.

The referral coursework will require the student to build on the work they started in the group project, report on thatand also to reflect on the issues arising from the group work.
