ML1212 Computer Support for Design Engineering 2 7.5 credits
The overall goal of the course is to give the student practical experience in how design engineers and engineers use computer-aided tools for industrial and mechanical design in realisation of component or product ideas in a product realisation process.
The course should also give a description of how computer tools are used in the creation of physical models in printed presentations, as well as electronic.
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student should be able to:
- Use a 3D CAD system to build, modify and manipulate digital solid models
- Carry out common digital image processing operations
- Produce components and product prototypes in physical, utilising digital 3D solid models
- Create presentations consisting of text and images for publication electronically and in print
- Describe the process of documentation of a (product) idea and communication of it to other people

Egenproducerat material används samt programvarornas on-line dokumentation. Programvaran och utbildningsmaterial från programvaroleverantören är på engelska.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- INLA - Individual Computer Exercises, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
- INLB - Large Computer- Based Assignment, 3.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
The activities that are included in INLA and INLB and grading criteria that are used in examination will be communicated at the beginning of the course
The final grade of the course is calculated from grade in INLA (60%) and INLB (40%).
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
