MATS1600 Mekanisk design og produksjon Emneplan

Today, mechanical design is conducted using various digital engineering tools. In this course you will be gaining an understanding of different engineering design philosophies. Besides this you will also comprehend how failure prevention is the fundamental concept behind all mechanical design activity. Furthermore, you will use knowledge and skills from traditional mechanical subjects together with digital engineering tools to design mechanical parts, components and products. This course offers a right balance of theoretical concepts coupled with practical application and hands-on 3D modeling training.

Lectures, lab exercises, project work and assignments. Group lectures based on digital engineering tools, lectures and laboratory work.

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

8 of 10 compulsory assignments must be approved.

2 mandatory labs must be approved.

a compulsory measurement laboratory workshop.

The tasks are delivered in Canvas.

The assessment will be based on two part-exams:

1);;;; Group project;report (4000-6000;words). The project report;counts;80%;of;the;final grade.

2);;;; Group project;presentation;(10 -15 minutes). The oral;examination;counts;20%;of;the;final grade

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course.

The oral examination cannot be appealed

All aids are permitted.

The course builds on SYKP/SYKK1060 Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) in Health Care. This course teaches students how to work in a scientific manner. They should be able to read research articles and gain insight into methodical strengths and weaknesses of said articles. Qualitative and quantitative methods, or a combination of these are part of the course. Students will study the research process and basic scientific methods through practical exercises. The course contributes to understanding how scientific methods lay the basis for research results.
