Aims and objectives
This unit of study aims to develop the ability to understand the basic operation of various machine elements and design the machine elements for optimum performance.
After successfully completing this unit, you should be able to:
1. Describe the basic principles of operation behind various machine elements. (K1, K3, K4)
2. Apply first principles to an innovative system so that it can be analytically modelled and optimised. (K1, K2, K3, K4, S1, S2, S3, A3)
3. Function within a team to design, build and operate a machine element. (K6, S1, S2, S3, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7)
4. Document an optimised design so that it can be understood and implemented by others. (K5, K6, S1, S3, A2, A5, A7)
