Design project based learning to include: Machine elements with kinematics (displacement, speed, and acceleration with trajectory if needed) and force analysis; Design of power and motion transmission elements spur, helical, bevel and worm gears; cams and followers; flexible drives (belts and chains); Design of power and motion control clutches and brakes, couplings, flywheels and mechanical springs; Elements for shaft support: bearings (journal and anti-friction); Elements for assembly and casing design: non-permanent and permanent joints i.e. rivets, screws, and welded joints. The design project considers stress analysis using FEM, cost analysis and the use of standards.
