Learning outcomes
Defining
The student clearly identifies a problem or customer need, contextualizes it, consults relevant sources, and converts it into a goal, problem statement, and electrical engineering requirements.
Designing
The student considers various solution directions to arrive at a detailed and well-founded electrical engineered product/service/process based on the program of requirements, using appropriate design methodologies and taking into account societal interests and engineering standards.

Content
For the manual calculations, the focus is on schematizing (simplified) situations and visualizing by drawing external forces and moments in a free body diagram. These external forces are translated to internal forces and tensions on (part of) the product in order to be answer the question whether a part is strong enough.
Additionally, using software, this question is answered by visualizing the deformation and tension as a consequence of external forces on a product.
