Goal(s)

This module aims to equip students with mechanical design skills and apply them to core areas of the Mechanical and Energy Engineering (ME) and Product Engineering (IDP) programs

• Advanced mechanical design
• Advanced general mechanics
• Analysis and design of a mechanical system at the FabLAB
• CAD project using SolidWorks

Responsible(s)

Stephane GUILLET, Robin CHABRIER

Content(s)

Advanced Course in Mechanical Design (4 hours)

• Manufacturing processes
• Solid connections: fixed joints, linear and rotational guides
• CAD elements – non-geometric shapes: Bézier, B-splines, NURBS

General Mechanics Lab (6 hours)

• Power calculations
• Kinetic energy theorem
• Modeling of systems and connections
• Hyperstatic systems

Design and Analysis of a “Handheld Fan” Mechanical System (8 hours)

• Modeling of a mechanical system
• Design process
• Design and fabrication of a mechanical system
• Use of 3D printing and laser cutting machines in the FabLAB

CAD Project (12 hours of lab work + 8 hours of independent study):

• Modeling complex parts, potentially with non-planar surfaces
• Assembly of a mechanical system and verification of the geometric model
• Use of CAD software (SolidWorks)

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

EU Fundamentals of Mechanical Design:

• Basic knowledge of mechanical engineering (reading drawings, technical drawing)
