Course Objectives Students are expected to review and use basic knowledge from statics, strength, machine elements, understand and be comfortable with mechanical system component analysis and failure analysis. Any design course invites extensive use of engineering application software (finite element methods) in order to minimize tedious manual work and maximize efficiency of interpolation, iteration, what-if analysis, graphing etc.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students are expected to be comfortable with mechanical system component analysis and their synthesis. They should also be able to do solid modeling, failure analysis.
  • Students are also expected to do engineering optimization and cost evaluation.
Course Content Systems design concepts, mathematical modeling, optimization methods, static and dynamic analysis and failure analysis of large systems.
