Course content

Topics:

• Dimensioning of different machine components such as shafts, couplings, bolts, gears, welding joints
• Rules for technical drawings

Learning outcome

Knowledge:

• has knowledge of the most common machine components
• have knowledge of the design of machine constructions based on the above
• have knowledge of environmental and social consequences of mechanical constructions
• knows regulations that deal with simple dimensioning based on standardized procedures / regulations
• has knowledge of simple digital tools used for design and dimensioning.

Skills:
