The participants explore both the virtual laboratory using Unigraphics and the in-situ laboratory testing. Laboratory works include the use of tensile, bending, and torsion testing equipments. The participants prepare lab reports illustrating the test setup, procedure, and results, and describe reasons for any differences in the test results from the theoretical predictions.
MECP409 Advanced Mechanical Design (3) This course provides the participants with fundamental concepts of Mechanical Engineering Design. The participants design a component, system or process that will perform a specified task subject to certain problem-solving and solution constraints. Utilizing the latest industrial drafting procedures and practices, the participants will apply the principles of engineering graphics to problems dealing with the drawing and design of machines and components. Upon completion of this course the participants will have a creative outlook to design a technologically demanding product that must be functional, safe, reliable, competitive, usable, manufacturable, and marketable.
MECP410 Advanced Mechanical Design Lab (1) This course includes virtual laboratory projects (using Unigraphics design package) to reinforce and supplement the lecture material of MECP 409. The participants are asked to design a complete mechanical tool for a given set of design parameters and constraints.
