This subject extends the development of students' analysis and design skills. Students use computer-aided methods to complement and enhance the analytical and theoretical skills and knowledge obtained in undergraduate subjects and in practice. Mechanical system simulation software is used to introduce virtual prototyping. A finite element analysis program is used for analysing stresses in mechanical components. Although commercially available software is used, students are not simply trained in the use of that particular program. Rather, the objective of the subject is that students understand the general approach to computer-aided engineering and the importance of having a sound knowledge of the fundamental mechanics.

Assessment: Assignments and projects (90 per cent), quiz (10 per cent).
