Design for Manufacture ENG718
Introduction
In this unit students' design and teamwork skills are developed to a professional engineering standard through a series of design projects dealing with different aspects of mechanical and mechatronic design with a specific focus on manufacture. An introduction is provided to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), as a basis for calculating the induced stresses in designed components to determine the structural strength of the proposed design solutions.

Learning Outcomes
- Develop a project scope and design requirements from a design brief for an engineering project.
- Apply and synthesise mechanical and mechatronic engineering theory in the design process aimed specifically for manufacture
- Validate the functional base of a design proposal including the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to enable the future identification of peak stresses according to predicted loads
- Design a specification with fully dimensioned and detailed engineering drawings using CAD software
- Function as an effective team member in the development of a professional engineering design report
