The module adds to the knowledge obtained in 2nd SemesterContent, progress and pedagogy of the module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have gained knowledge and understanding of advanced engineering design of mechanical systems and structures.
- Be able to understand and apply advanced analysis tools for evaluating the performance of advanced mechanical systems and structures.
- Have knowledge and comprehension of the relation between synthesis and analysis in the design process.
Skills
- Be able to describe the problem solved and the criteria applied for its solution.
- Be able to evaluate the concepts, theories, and methodologies applied in the solution of the problem.
- Be able to account for the choices made during the solution of the problem, and substantiate that these are made on a high professional level.
- Be able to assess the limitations of the concepts, theories, and methodologies applied in the solution of the problem.
Competences
- Be able to analyze and solve an actual problem, of industrial relevance, through application of systematic research and development processes, including advanced analytical, experimental, and/or numerical methods and models.
Type of instruction
The student is included in the company’s daily work and carry out independent project work on an industrial problem relevant for the company. Concurrent to the work in the company, the student makes a project report, which is evaluated after the ending of the project oriented study in the external organisation.
Extent and expected workload
Since it is a 20 ECTS course module the expected workload is 600 hours for the student.
