Description:
This course will address advanced layout techniques and practices that are typical in the design industry. Students will be challenged with the design concepts and problem solving in order to accomplish the task. The design of sophisticated devices will be the main focus of this course. The course includes the study of power transfer systems such as couplings, chain and sprocket drives, and the use of motors and shafting. Instruction in the application of clutches, and their uses in machine design, will also be stressed.
