6cpRequisite(s): 48600 Mechanical Design 1
Fields of practice: Mechanical Engineering program
Undergraduate
Subject coordinator: Garry Marks
This subject builds on and brings together the concepts introduced in earlier subjects such as 48610 Introduction to Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering, 48620 Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering, Design One — Drawing and Materials and 48331 Mechanics of Solids. Engineering design provides the link between engineering science and practice. Mechanical Design 2 is the second of three explicitly titled engineering design subjects, but the treatment in the earlier subjects mentioned above also have a design focus. Topics covered here include design methodology, design rules for machine elements, application and uses of electrical equipment and processes and aspects of engineering knowledge.
Assessment: Machine design assignment (40 per cent), shaft design (15 per cent), element choice and design (30 per cent) and optimisation (15 per cent).
