The course is based on analysis and design of commonly used components in technical products.
In parallel with the dimensioning module, a project will be carried out that aim to exercise engineering problem-solving regarding design and product realization, engineering design and choice of technical solutions. The project also includes visualisation by means of sketches, computer models and physical models.
On completion of the course, the student should:
understand the function of and be able to dimension some common machine elements.
be able to choose appropriate standard components and common engineering materials.
be able to cooperate around technical problem-solving in an engineering way.
be able to use 3D CAD and model parts and assemblies
be able to account for the most common activities in the product development process and apply these from idea to concept
be able to present results of implemented project assignments orally and in written form.
Compulsory for year 2 of the Subject Teacher Education in Technology, Secondary Education
MF1048 Introduction to Technology for Technology Teachers, and course in Mechanics and Solid Mechanics.
Literature in machine elements.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
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.
The examination takes place continuously with oral and written presentations of project and laboratory sessions and a written examination.
