The course is intended to introduce students to mechanical components and their implementation in system design.
Detailed consideration is given to certain mechanical components.
Students learn how to dissect a complex mechanical system and apply their engineering skills to simplify the analysis. Examples of design concerns and case examples of industry problems are provided in lab and lecture. Norton, R. L., Design of Machinery, McGraw-Hill, 1992.
