• PDD 3210: Machines and Mechanisms

  3.00 Credits

  Weber State University

  
  Uses 3D parametric design software to produce design solutions for open-ended design projects, focusing on the relationship between "make" and "buy" parts. Gives students the opportunity to become familiar with engineering functions and manufacturing processes as related to mechanical design. Introduces the iterative process required to optimize design solutions. Studies elements inherent to the design of components fabricated from traditional engineering materials using practical manufacturing methods. Examines the characteristics of mechanical components and the integration of said components to specific machine designs. Uses select information from manufacturer's data for components integral to the comprehensive design of complete machines. Covers concepts such as position, velocity, and acceleration. Also covers mechanism design including weldments, prime movers, gear pumps, belt and chain drives, hydraulic motors, bearing applications, braking systems, tanks, and sheet metal layout. Supports the design requirements for senior projects. Prerequisite:    MFET 1210 and MFET 2150 and MFET 2300 and MFET 2320 and PDD 2460
