| Module Description: |
This module advances the students' design knowledge coupled with the electronic expertise to manipulate & analyse 3D models with various CAE systems in use in modern industry. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Manipulate electronic CAD data for use with Computer Aided Engineering software and systems in design. |
| LO2 |
Analyse digital prototypes using industry standard software. |
| LO3 |
Complete a team design project by applying systematic design principles. |
| LO4 |
Design for fatigue a range of mechanical components. |
| LO5 |
Integrate major international standards (DIN, ISO, BS, Machinery Directive) and hazard analysis techniques into the mechanical design, operation and safety of components and machines. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named CIT module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s). |
| No recommendations listed |
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list. |
| No incompatible modules listed |
