Aim: To enable the participants to design technical products and work out the drawing documentation needed for production. The participants must know the various phases of the development of a product and be able to use methods for determination of the structure and shape of the product in accordance with a broad spectrum of criteria concerning production, conditions of operation, price, appearance, etc. Furthermore, the participants must be able to use design drafts and proper standard machine drawing in the design process.
Contents: The product synthesis process. The basic properties of the product: Structure, shape, material, dimension, and surface. Methods for structure variance. Product factors: Production, assembly, quality, industrial design, operation, disposal, etc. Product specification,. Computer tools for design. The drawing system. The design draft as an engineering design tool. Standards for drawing. Shape and position tolerances. Commonly used machine elements. Through a number of design exercises, the participants work with systematic methods for product synthesis. The participants will partly design their own parts and partly design with conventional machine elements. The exercises include use of outlines, design drafts, shop drawings, and assembly drawings. The course is terminated by an independent design project which is carried through to documentation (written and including drawings) of a product. Throughout the course, the use of engineering design handbooks as professional tools is practised. In the long term, it is expected that all participants will get the opportunity to make drawing documentation by use of CAD.
