 Course Description
The course covers the Mechanical Design Process and Design of Mechanical
Elements. It includes failure theories for both static and fatigue conditions. One
integrated design project from concept to blueprint/production drawing is also
included.

Course Outcome (CO)

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

CO1 Explain the basic concept of mechanical design process to solve engineering
problem.
CO2 Use the principal of the machine element for mechanical system design.
CO3 Analyze engineering problem or design system or mechanical components
using proper tools and methods.
CO4 Organize engineering project in group with proper planning and timeframe.
CO5 Construct solutions for engineering problem, design, system or mechanical
components.
CO6 Assemble machine components based on standard codes and practices.
