SolidWorks in Machine Design (5 Cr) (5cr)

Evaluation scale

Pass/Fail

Objective

In addition to 3D modeling and making drawings, modern design software can be used more extensively in product development. You learn how to do motion analysis for mechanism and animations that illustrate a product. You learn to estimate products manufacturing costs. Your competence is growing in product manufacturing tolerances and making analysis of tolerance chains. After you have passed the course, you will be able to evaluate the environmental impact of your design during its life cycle.

Knowledge and understanding:
You are familiar with various analysis tools used in design software and able to apply them in evaluating the products, taking into account their limitations.

Engineering practice:
You have an understanding of design methods and an ability to use them. You learn to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems using taught methods. You can apply your knowledge and understanding when making analyses and select relevant analytic and modelling methods.

Multidisciplinary competences:
You are able to choose the materials and manufacturing methods for your product design, taking into account environmental considerations. You are trained to take business view into account when making choices and reflections.
