MF103X Degree Project in Mechanical Engineering, First Level 15.0 credits

Examensarbete inom maskinteknik, grundnivå

 In the course aims at training your skills in model-based engineering analysis and reasoning of technical products and it builds on previously acquired knowledge in areas such as mechanics, solid mechanics, and product realization. In the course, you apply self-learning approaches to gain new knowledge and integrate it with previously acquired knowledge, with the purpose to strengthen your ability to identify and solve problems within the field of machine design.
