Aim: The aim is:
- To give the students a general methodology when working with technology analysis.
- To give the students a fundamental knowledge about mechanical products functionality, working principles, layout and manufacture.
- To give the students capabilities in using drawings as a tool in the mechanical engineering work. |
Contents: The methodlogy is related to technology analysis on three levels: Product, company and society.
Society: driving forces in the development of technology. Different groups and their interests. Interest conflicts. The relations between different parties expressed through structural relations and specific relations.
Company: Organization, areas of operation, roles and interests of engineers.
Product: Process, organs, machine components. Product life. Standard components, machine elements. Super-system, system, sub-system.
In groups of four the students studies mechanical products, and describes a number of industrial, economical, quality related, product development related and technical aspects. The products are modelled descriptive and analytically in a number of models. Based on these models a "what if-æ" analysis is performed. The consequences of changes in working principles configuration, material, design and manufacturing process are evaluated. This analysis is supported by analysis of competing products. The work is documented in reports. the drawings (graphical communication) and the reports are evaluated.
Drawing fundamentals (projection views and section views, axonometric and perspective projections).
- Drawing techniques. Hand sketching and drafting with manual tools and CAD.
- The use of drawings (graphical models and communication). Problemsolving with drawings. Presentation of design proposals.
- Type of drawings. |
