Mechanical Design II

About this course

Mechanical Design II scopes in applying and expanding the basic engineering knowledge already acquired during previous semesters in order to: • advance his mechanical engineering education, a fundamental requirement for any professional engineer and • Overall management of a technical design problem of a mechanical part or device.

Expected learning outcomes

The appropriate combination of basic Engineering knowledge aims to the design of a new product or the redesigning an existing one. Understanding the stages of industrial design (from conception and elaboration of the idea, to the fabrication and evaluation of a prototype) is carried out as a group effort within a student design team
