Teaching formats
“I came to four basic conclusions about mechanical design as a result of these studies:

1. The only way to learn about design is to do design.

2. In engineering design, the designer uses three types of knowledge: knowledge to generate
ideas, knowledge to evaluate ideas and make decisions, and knowledge to structure the
design process. Idea generation comes from experience and natural ability. Idea evaluation
comes partially from experience and partially from formal training, and it is the focus of most
engineering education. Generative and evaluative knowledge are forms of domain-specific
knowledge. Knowledge about the design process and decision making is largely
independent of domain-specific knowledge.

3. A design process that results in a quality product can be learned, provided enough ability
and experience to generate ideas and enough experience and training to evaluate them are
present.

4. A design process should be learned in a dual setting: in an academic environment and, at

the same time, in an environment that stimulates industrial realities.”

(Ullman, 2015, preface)

Teaching formats

• Combination of campus and distance learning course

• Lectures and recommended literature introducing topics

• Seminars to dig deeper into specific topics/or to practice on tool usage

• Project work provide training on integrating course subjects

Not only conceive and design…

• …but also implement and operate

• Build models to test/verify your

design

• Special situation for off-site students

Literature
Perspectives on the design process:
• Ullman, D. (2015). The mechanical design process. 5th ed. McGraw-Hill Higher Education.
• Ullrich, K. and Eppinger, S. (2000). Product design and development. 2nd ed. The McGraw-Hill
Companies.
• Johansson, H., Persson, J.G. and Pettersson, D. (2013). Produktutveckling – effektiva metoder för
konstruktion och design. 2nd ed. Liber.

Bringing in material and manufacturing perspectives:

• Ashby, M., Shercliff, H. and Cebon, D. (2010). Materials engineering, science, processing and
design. 2nd ed. Elsevier.
• Kalpakijan, S. and Schmid, S. (2014). Manufacturing engineering and technology. 7th ed.
Pearson Education South Asia Pte.

And of course a good summary of mechanical fundamentals, eg. Part 1 in:

• Juvinall, R. and Marshek, K. (2012). Fundamentals of machine component design, 5th ed. John
Wiley & Sons.
Examination

The course is examined through:

• A group project
• An individual written exam

Overall grade of Fail, 3, 4 or 5. Grade is determined by combining the grades of

the group project and the individual written exam, and is calculated as the score
of the development project x 0,6 plus the score of the individual written exam x
0,4, rounded to the nearest integer.

The individual written exam (open books) will be on campus in January.

Course evaluation
– and changes since last year
Course evaluation is part of the course. This evaluation should offer guidance in
the future development and planning of the course. Course evaluations should
be documented and made available to the students.

Last years course evaluation

a8b936b82898f8b90759-1f12-44f9-9b10-2a1904ee4090?

• In general positive comments

– Good combination of lectures, seminars and project
• Negative comments regarding course administration and communication with
distance students
– This year seminars and project supervision is divided between campus and off-site students to
facilitate better communication
Course ambassador

• A very important function that helps improving the course for

you and for following years!

• Three meetings with me during the course

– 1st week, 30 min
– Half time, 45 min
– Conclusion, 1 h

• 3-5 volunteers?
– 1st
– 2nd
– 3rd
