No. of hours per week: five hours
Assessment: assignments, project work and
examination
Subject aims and description
This subject aims to provide additional knowledge of designing
tools, machinery and equipment for quality production.
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.
