Advanced Mechanical Design ENG723
Introduction
In this unit mechanical engineering students will design solutions to a real-world engineering problem using the engineering design process. Initial research conducted will be used to develop a set of project requirements and scope. A holistic design process will start from concept design to detail design and will include critical analysis of solutions. The project provided will be industry based so that students obtain first hand experience working on an industry based project.

Note
Please check that your computer meets the minimum System Requirements if you are attending via Distance/Off-Campus.
Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Unit census dates currently displaying for 2024 are indicative and subject to change. Finalised census dates for 2024 will be available from the 1st October 2023. Note census date cutoff is 11.59pm AEST (AEDT during October to March).
Learning Outcomes
- Develop a project scope and design requirements by investigating salient issues relating to a design problem.
- Design a engineering solution to a real-world problem, including an FMEA and life-cycle assessment
- Function independently in the development of a professional engineering design report

Prerequisites
ENG718Teaching
| Teaching Pattern | The unit involves one 2-hour workshop and one 1-hour tutorial each week during semester. Supporting information and videos will be made available on-line via the MyLo page for the unit. There is one industry-based activity in week 6 that will require attendance at an engineering site within short distance from campus. All workshops and tutorials will be held at the Sandy Bay campus, unless otherwise specified. |
