Entry requirements
40 credits within an engineering programme. Computer Aided Design/3D CAD. Participation in Engineering Materials, Machine Elements and Manufacturing Methodologies.
Learning outcomes
The course provides the student with a comprehensive view of the product development process as well as deeper skills in working with computer aided design.
On completion of the course, the student should be able to
- describe the product development process and account for its conditions and terms,
- apply methods for collection of customer requirements and for formulating product requirements,
- give an account of the methods DFM (Desgin for Manufacturing) and DFE (Design for the Environment) in product development,
- use a CAD-software to design products with moving parts and with the help of top-down methodology,
- create advanced solid and surface models,
- produce realistic images and simple animations of a product.
Content
Industrial product development. The process of product development. Product planing. Managing customer and technical specifications. Concept development and concept selection. Product architecture and modularization. Industrial design. Methods for product-adapted design (DFM) and environmental design (DFE). Advanced solid modeling and surface modeling in 3D-CAD. Simulation of mechanical movement, animation, photo rendering, top-down-design and generating drawings. The software used is SolidWorks with associated modules.
Instruction
Lectures, exercises, assignments, seminars and supervision of project work.
Assessment
Assigments, presentation of project work, written theory exam and practical exam in CAD. Credits will be given for theory (5 credits) and computer aided product development and design (5 credits).
If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding targeted pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
