The focus of the course is on the detail design phase of the product development process, where we start from a concept that is further developed into a function prototype or full scale prototype. A large part of the course is project-based, where a model of the design process is used for planning and follow-up of the work.
MF2077 Machine Design Advanced Course Part II 12.0 credits
Machine design involves design of a vide range of products, from complex machines, e.g. cars, to more simple products such as bicycle transmissions which we all meet in our daily life. To design, means to create new solutions to the problem we are facing in an engineering correct manner, This means that we should address the real problem and make a solution as simple as possible which also is possible to realize in an industrial environment considering e.g. aspects of economy, energy and environment.
For solving the design tasks we use modern CAE programs for creating geometry and for analysis, but an important part is also to generalize and make rough estimations based on these generalizations.
This course is preparing you for your upcoming work as an engineer or product developer. It also gives you knowledge and skills in planning, participating and leading product development work of integrated and modularized products. In addition you will be trained to use CAE tools for design, simulation and analysis and to communicate technical results orally and in writing.

Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the students should be able to:
- Plan and participate in development of integrated and modular products
- design and detail both components and subsystems of complex mechanical products from concepts to manufacturing documentation and prototype
- apply model-based product development in simulation and verification of product concepts during the detail design phase
- design and analyse both components and subsystems of complex products in an engineering way
- generate loads for both components and complex mechanical units, e.g. for design of components and structures, material selections, choice of standard parts
- apply principles of ecofriendly design during the detail design phase
- apply previously acquired knowledge in e.g. mechanics, solid mechanics, electrical engineering, product development and industrial design
- apply basic criteria for constructive design, including load application, manufacturing adaptation etc.
- choose material and manufacturing process in an engineering way
