Leeruitkomsten

The student:
  • Can apply methodical design principles to systematically structure and guide the engineering design process.
  • Can conduct user research to identify needs and incorporate them into the design strategy.
  • Can select and dimension mechanical components such as bearings, shafts, and belts based on engineering standards and calculations.
  • Can analyze and visualize product functionality using tools like functional decomposition and MEI diagrams.
  • Can calculate and evaluate power transmission systems including belt, chain, and gear drives for mechanical applications.
  • Can apply basic tribological knowledge to design plain and rolling bearings with suitable materials and lubrication methods.
  • Can assess fatigue and stress concentrations to ensure safe and durable shaft designs under cyclic loads.
  • Can interpret and apply basic electric motor data to select motors that meet specific torque, speed, and efficiency requirements.
  • Can justify and defend design decisions using requirement lists, decision matrices, and performance analyses.
  • Can iteratively improve a design through prototyping, testing, and incorporating feedback into the development process.

Inhoud
