Course description
* This course is just for AIMS-program students, not for regular TUAT students, in 2016.

This course is designed to give students knowledge of the designer's needs in order to effectively help. The knowledge is about the role of each mechanical component, the required aspects, and the points to be considered for proper design. Students will be also exposed into the actual manufacturing process through short videos. Based on these basic knowledge, stress-stain analysis method will be introduced as general treatment. In this course, widely used and important mechanical components are focused, such as threads, gears, shafts, belts, brakes, dumpers, and bearings. Lubricants are also referred. As genera theoretical analysis method, Airy's stress function is introduced with a case study. As a proof of knowledge achievement, task report is requested at the end of the semester.

Fall semester in 2016, 90min/class x 2class/week,
but the schedule is fixed at the beginning of the semester.
Expected Learning
By the end of the course, students should be able to:
1) classify properties of materials and materials for engineering use,
2) analyze and synthesis engineering knowledge in design of engineering devices,
3) convey the analysis results not only to team members but also to instructors,
4) presenting the idea of project based on specific case study.
