Design a Timing Belt Drive (TBD) Learning points

Objective: Student learn how to fulfill the given specifications

by suitable mechanical design.
1. Able to size standard components.
2. Design parts to integrate with the selected standard
components.
3. Apply knowledge learnt in lecture to calculate necessary
parameters in timing belt drive system.
4. Able to produce proper mechanical engineering design
documents.
First part (TBD1) is a guide-through exercise. All students
work on the same specification.
Second part (TBD2) each student is given individual
specification to work on. Students have to reproduce the
similar documents in the same format as they learnt in the
first part.
