Machine Component DesignLaajuus (3 cr)

Objective

The student can utilize machine components in designing machines and their structures. The student can design basic connections of machine components.

EA-EN Engineering analysis: The students are able to apply their knowledge and understanding to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems in dimensioning and selection of machine components using established methods. They are able to apply their knowledge and understanding to analyse machine components. The students are able to select and apply relevant analytic and modelling methods in dimensioning and selection of machine components.

EA-ER Engineering practice: The students are able to combine theory and practice in dimensioning and selection of machine components.

TKNPE Basics of mechanical engineering: The students can use mathematics and physics in dimensioning of machine components. The students are more familiar with the most common components and machine elements as well as their connections used in mechanical engineering.

Content
