A subject in the Bachelor of Engineering (Manufacturing -
Production Stream)
0 bjedives
This subject aims to provide additional knowledge of
designing . . tools, machinery and equipment for quality
production.
Content
The modules on design of machinery for production and
industrial robot design provide the basis for the design and
selection of machine tools and robots. Advanced mechanical
design and advanced tooling design with CAD applications
aim to provide basis for more detailed analysis of design
problems with the aid of latest CAD/CAM systems.

" A fifth year subject in the Bachelor of Engineering
To Drovide further studies in topic areas which will enrich
thestudent's knowledge and understanding of engineering
technology.
Students must select three subjects from the selection offered
below. The subjects within this group offer advanced studies
in engineering technology. The subjects offered each year
depend on demand and availability of staff.
