Introduction
Engineering Design and Workshop Technology skills are
considered to be of high importance for the modern engineers. The module in
scope aims to the understanding of the procedures that have to be followed
during the development stages of a new product. Thus, given specific customer
requirements, students will be given the opportunity to develop and built a new
product.
Students will be assesed through two written
asignments that are to cover the procedure of product design and manufacturing
of a mechanical assembly. Also, manufacturing skills will be taken in
consideration as workshop equipment will be used for the prototyping of the
developed product.
The present assessement sheet covers the following
learning outcomes:
1. Develop a design specification that establishes
customer requirements.
2. Develop and understand a design report with design
concept, evaluation of concepts and selection of optimum design solution.
3. Utilise and use computer technologies in the design
process.
Thus, students will be given a specific set of
customer requirements and appropriate actions should be taken in order to carry
out the procedure of Engineering Design of a product that covers the given
requirements. At the end, an Engineering Report has to be given in order to describe
the actions that have been taken in order to overcome the intermediate stages
of Engineering Design. Also, detailed Engineering Drawings will be included at
the Engineering Report. The Engineering Report should have a length of 1500-2000 words.
Engineering Design Scenario and Initial Customer
Requirements
Your customer, a toolmaker asks you to
design a tap wrench that is appropriate for use with standards metric taps in
the range of M3-M8.

|
(Note
that the product is shown just for reference. Your product should respect the
given specifications) |
Your
customer‘s manufacturing capabilities include injection molding of plastic
parts, machining and precision ginding.
You
are alowed to design anything you want as long as the designed product can be
manufactured in-house. Also, you should consider designing the tap wrench respecting
the manufacturing related issues involved in the economic mass production of
the designed product.
