This course studies basic considerations regarding activities that are essential during the machine design process. The ultimate goal of the machine design is the development of a product that is safe and reliable during operation. In order to address these requirements, various other considerations should also be taken into account that may have a dispersed or unknown impact on the quality of the final product. This course aims to provide an overview and evaluation of the key requirements in machine design and offers guidelines on how they can impact the design outcome.

The machine design process involves the creation of a product that can have multiple acceptable solutions. To quickly find the optimal solution, a wide range of requirements must be taken into account by engineers and other professionals through various stages of the process. This course begins with a brief introduction to the design steps in the product lifecycle, emphasizing the identification of design requirements and the interdependence of the various activities. The importance of sequential and concurrent engineering will be emphasized, along with the necessary specific steps involved. The course will also examine the roles of participants in the machine design process and the potential organizational structures. To conclude, the course will showcase an example of a machine design process for a product utilizing quality function deployment.

The Introduction of Machine Design course serves as a foundation for the following courses, which will be oriented on specific machine elements and components designs, such as fasteners, shafts, axles, transmissions, springs, and others. Their calculations and analyses all require the deployment of at least one part of the machine design process described here.
