STE6242 Virtual Prototyping - 5 ECTS
Admission requirements
A relevant undergraduate bachelor Engineering programme with minimum 30 credits Mathematics/statistics topics
Prerequisite(s)
Courses in materials in product design, fluid dynamics, structural analysis in engineering and geometric modeling.
Application code: 9371
Prerequisite(s): Courses STE6290, STE6241, STE6301 and STE6238.
Course content
From sketch to 3D CAD model - management of complex models, requirements for data at different stages in the design process, concurrent engineering methods within the field of engineering design. Project, the application of modeling and simulation software. Software which will be mentioned and used during lectures: Autodesk Inventor, Rhinoceros, ANSYS (finite element program), CES (material selection software), SciLab, Matlab, SolidWorks.Objectives of the course
The purpose of this course is to provide an introduction to the concept of virtual prototyping within the field of engineering design. The course will provide the students the knowledge to analyze, present/ visualize and simulate the characteristics of some (technical) products with the help of 3D CAD software for mechanical design and other numerical computation software.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:
After completing the course, the candidate:
- can apply knowledge to new areas within the academic field of numerical and analytical calculations, computations, materials, systematic design process, computational methods, engineering design (K3)
Skills:
After completing the course, the candidate:
- can analyze and deal critically with various sources of information and use them to structure and formulate scholarly arguments (S1)
- can carry out an independent, limited research or development project under supervision and in accordance with applicable norms for research ethics (S4)
General competence:
After completing the course, the candidate:
- can apply the knowledge and skills within engineering design in new areas in order to carry out advanced assignments and projects (GC2)
- can communicate extensive independent work and masters language and terminology of the academic field of engineering design (GC3)
- can communicate about academic issues, analyses and conclusions in the field of engineering design, both with specialists and the general public (GC4)
Assessment
The course is conducted by a combination of regular lectures, individual instruction and project work.
Evaluation is based upon a project conducted as individual or group work. This point will be clarified upon course start. The outcome of the project will be a virtual prototype and a short scientific report.
The project must be presented and defended orally by the students.
The final grade will be based on the report, models and the oral presentation.
Grading will be done by using A-F grading scale, F is Fail. A re-sit exam will be arranged for this course.
