140 h study time
Offer 1 with catalog number 4016301FNR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (F) Master - specialised level.
1. Strength and allowed stress
2. Welded joints
3. Bolted joints and lead screws
4. Shaft-hub interference joint
5. Roller bearings
6. Spur gears
Procedure 2nd session:
resitting of parts for which less than 12/20;
score of the 1st session is forfeited upon resitting
Learning about:
Quantification and qualification of an actual load (compiled, dynamically) applied to a machine part;
dimensioning of joining technologies: welding, bolting, shaft-boss joint;
dimensioning of moving machine parts: transmission screws, shafts, bearings.
Comprehension of:
Construction of a machine;
Use of joining technologies that have been discussed;
Operation and use of the moving parts that have been discussed;
Combination of the complexity of an actual load applied to a part and the complexity of the behaviour of the material (metal) prompting simplifications in calculations, an insight into where simplification is required and an awareness of its implications.
Skills and attitudes:
Converting a quantified external load, applied to a part, to an internal state of stress, assessing the allowed state, and testing both against one another, this forms an essential part of dimensioning;
Being able to simplify a complex situation in a well thought out manner and in accordance with the rules of the craft;
A critical attitude towards the simplifications which have been carried through in mechanical engineering.
Can collaborate in a (multidisciplinary) team.
Can develop, plan, execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional.
Can think critically about and evaluate projects, systems and processes, particularly when based on incomplete, contradictory and/or redundant information.
Having a creative, problem-solving, result-driven and evidence-based attitude, aiming at innovation and applicability in industry and society.
Having a critical attitude towards one's own results and those of others.
Having consciousness of the ethical, social, environmental and economic context of his/her work and strives for sustainable solutions to engineering problems including safety and quality assurance aspects.
Having the flexibility and adaptability to work in an international and/or intercultural context.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of integrated structural design methods in the framework of a global design strategy.
Having an in-depth scientific knowledge, understanding and skills in at least one of the subfields needed to design, produce, apply and maintain complex mechanical, electrical and/or energy systems.
Having an in-depth understanding of safety standards and rules with respect to mechanical, electrical and energy systems.
Can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).
Can conceive, plan and execute a research project, based on an analysis of its objectives, existing knowledge and the relevant literature, with attention to innovation and valorization in industry and society.
Can correctly report on research or design results in the form of a technical report or in the form of a scientific paper.
Can present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.
