This module will impart basic knowledge for the engineering and design behind technical products in mechanical engineering. The goal is to convey to the students a basic understanding of the relations between the structure of real technical systems and the use of easy machine elements as well as the design, dimensioning, and composition.
Furthermore, calculation models for functional properties and strength properties of machine elements will be taught. The lecture wants to arouse interest for probably the most creative and inventive engineering activity – design engineering!
The students will be put in the position to develop and understand standard-conforming technical drawings as well as to apply and develop functional machine elements of limited complexity (screws, bolts, rivets, shafts, and springs) and to measure and calculate properly proportioned for stress and strain.
The module “Basics of Design” consists of the events:
More information for the procedure can be found on the StudIP event website.
The course takes place during the summer semester.
