The goal is to provide the student with the knowledge to realize a project of a simple mechanical system.
Provide the systematic knowledge of the key aspects of mechanical design of industrial engineering and related methods; for the latter, the understanding of which ones are most suitable for the purpose of defining a product and its characteristics. The technology of usable materials, the mechanical study of parts and assemblies, their sizing, the study of their static and dynamic behavior and the interactions between components, the technologies for their production, their graphic representation are the areas of knowledge and understanding . Knowledge of production plants and processes. Understanding the advantages and limitations of process and plant choices in different application contexts. The comprehension of the broader multidisciplinary context of engineering with particular focus on problem solving, which starts from the problem to trace the causes and the possible measures to face them, typically multidisciplinary. An understanding of the applicable techniques and methods and their limitations included the awareness of the non-technical implications of engineering practice.
The ability to choose and apply appropriate analytical, modeling, verification and experimentation methods to design, analyze and test machines and plants including: the interpretation and realization of detailed and total drawings, even with the use of software systems; the sizing and functional and structural verification of statically and fatigue components and mechanical units; the functional setting of the design of a mechanical system, applying the principles of kinematics, kinetostatics, static and dynamics; the analysis of the characteristics of metallic and polymeric materials for the construction of components, taking into account the conditions of use; the ability to choose the best production process for the realization of mechanical components; the analysis and design of production systems including the reliability, safety and economic and environmental sustainability study.
Learning Objectives - Last names M-Z
The objective is to provide the student with the elements to carry out a project of a simple mechanical system, putting into practice the skills learned in the teaching of Machine Construction and achieving the following transversal skills:
CT1 - Technical communication in written form (drafting of individual reports and reports)
CT2 - Group work in a coordinated mode
CT3 - Development of a suitable expression and technical discussion of its arguments
CT4 - Graphic representation and communication (drafting of diagrams, graphs and tables)
CT5 - Understanding of technical standards
CT6 - Conducting bibliographic searches using the main resources (libraries, scientific databases, etc.)
CT7 - Respect commitments and times
CT8 - Communication through presentations and web systems

Type of Assessment - Last names A-L
The exam test consists in the discussion of the elaborate.
The exam is designed to test the ability to apply their knowledge to identify, formulate and solve problems of mechanical engineering, defining specifications, technical constraints, but also safety and environmental and to solve them using well-established methods. engineering projects, adapted to the level of knowledge and understanding developed.
The student must demonstrate that he has acquired the skills to apply his / her knowledge to identify, formulate and solve mechanical engineering problems, defining specifications, technical and safety constraints and to solve them using established methods thus going to realize engineering projects, appropriate to the level of knowledge and understanding developed.
Type of Assessment - Last names M-Z
Laboratories with working groups (usually of two students but sometimes 3 or 1). Weekly review of the project is voluntary (the teacher is available but it is not mandatory for students to review every week). The final exam consists of an oral exam with discussion of the project developed. The student must be able to develop the design of a machine or a mechanical group, starting from the definition of the technical specification, passing through the development of one or more ideas, and arriving at the development of a constructive design (overall and table), all completed by the main checks of resistance. The questions asked during the final test are also aimed at ascertaining the achievement, at least at a good level, of the skills reported in the training objectives.
