Programme description

  • Introduction

    Today, mechanical construction and technical design are conducted using digital engineering tools. In this course, you will use knowledge and skills from traditional mechanical subjects together with a digital engineering tool to design mechanical parts, components and products. You will also learn how to document your work.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    The course builds on MAPE1300 Mechanics.

  • Required preliminary courses

    None.

  • Learning outcomes

    After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

    Knowledge

    The student

    • is capable of identifying common mechanical components and structural components and explaining what they are used for
    • is familiar with the systematic work involved in constructing parts, and putting the parts together to form components and products
    • knows the production documentation requirements
    • knows the rules for machine drawing

    Skills

    The student is capable of

    • digitally modelling parts, components and products, and generating correct detailed drawings and assembly drawings based on the digital models
    • carrying out power analysis and stress calculations
    • constructing and dimensioning common machine parts and components such as screws and screw connections, welds and welded assemblies, shafts, shaft bearings, shaft-hub connections and simple shafting/transmissions
    • carrying out simple fatigue calculations for machine parts based on infinite service life
    • conducting simple element analysis

    General competence

    The student is capable of

    • correctly documenting his or her own work and presenting them digitally

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Group lectures based on digital engineering tools, lectures and laboratory work.

  • Course requirements

    The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can take the exam:

    • a compulsory measurement laboratory workshop

  • Assessment

    Portfolio assessment of four individual construction projects. Students are expected to work on the assignments for four hours per week throughout the semester. The assignments must be submitted on Canvas.

    The exam result can be appealed.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    All aids are permitted.

  • Grading scale

    Pass/fail.

  • Examiners

    One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
