Objective

It is essential for the design engineer to understand the importance of manufacturing and economic aspects in product design. You learn to understand the progress of the design process and you are able to choose the appropriate materials for structures. Your competence is growing in to be able to standards as design support. After you have passed the course, you will be able to design simple structures and the related machine components considering safety factors.
