Aims

The objective of this course is to acquire the following competencies with limited guidance:

  • integration of the contents of the courses from the core training mechanics and some cluster-specific courses;
  • application of design methodologies in practical assignments;
  • ability to work in group and to give oral and written reports on technical and scientific work.

Order of Enrolment

Mixed prerequisite:
You may only take this course if you comply with the prerequisites. Prerequisites can be strict or flexible, or can imply simultaneity. A degree level can be also be a prerequisite.
Explanation:
STRICT: You may only take this course if you have passed or applied tolerance for the courses for which this condition is set.
FLEXIBLE: You may only take this course if you have previously taken the courses for which this condition is set.
SIMULTANEOUS: You may only take this course if you also take the courses for which this condition is set (or have taken them previously).
DEGREE: You may only take this course if you have obtained this degree level.

Content

This course consists of one or more cross-curricular activities, with sufficient depth with respect to the core mechanical courses, a partial option specific interpretation is also included. The course covers aspects of the correct use of analytical/numerical techniques, independent information acquisition with critical analysis, and synthesis. Furthermore, a check with reality is in most cases involved. The assignment may or may not happen in cooperation with a company.

Course material

Available on the teaching platform

Format: more information

The sessions include a limited number of general seminars on CAD/CAE and a major project.
The seminars are organized at the beginning of the semester. In order to broaden the student’s view on the design problem, the seminars interpreted more broadly than is strictly necessary for carrying out a project.
 

The definition of a project is conducted in consultation with the industry and with the supervisors. The project runs over the entire semester. The exact dates are available in the planning. A project is basically carried out by a group of typically two or three students. The choice of the composition of the group is free.
 

There is an intermediate and a final presentation.
The end result is a written report, possibly a prototype.

Evaluation

Evaluation: Integrated Project (B-KUL-H24P9a)

Type : Continuous assessment without exam during the examination period
Description of evaluation : Report, Presentation
Type of questions : Open questions
Learning material : Computer

Explanation


The grade is based on the technical quality of the development and/or the scientific merit of the analysis.
The quality of both the oral and the written part of reporting are taken into account.

Information about retaking exams

Given the specific evaluation form, there is no alternative exam over the entire examination contents  organized during the Sept. examination period for those students who were not active in the course of the academic year or who had a  limited participation. For students who have a sufficient contribution during the year, it will be checked how a replacement for the examination can be organized.
