Unit handbook information
Synopsis
In this integrative level 3 unit students of mechanical engineering programs are introduced to the
design of machine elements covering bearings, shafts, welds, fasteners, gears etc. This leads to
an examination of techniques for improving engineering designs based on economic and
functional considerations. Geometric and economic tolerancing is further explored. The use of
solid modeling software to simulate the behaviour of mechanical devices and produce engineering
drawings is introduced. The integration of design skills and related engineering studies is covered
through a group exercise to design a mechanical device.

Section A: For Clayton students
Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies
The Engineers Australia Policy on Accreditation of Professional Engineering Programs requires
that all programs ensure that their engineering graduates develop to a substantial degree the
stage 1 competencies. Listed below are the activities in this unit that will help you to achieve these
competencies.
Note: that not all stage 1 competencies are relevant to each unit.
PE1.2 In-depth technical competence in This Unit is principally concerned with the
at least one engineering discipline appropriate integration of existing technical skills
from mechanical and other disciplines.
PE1.3 Techniques and resources The Unit develops techniques for design,
information searching and modeling through a
series of problems and projects.
PE1.4 General knowledge All learning tasks in the Unit are based on real
environments, so it is necessary to incorporate, or
identify aspects of general knowledge that are
relevant to the task.
PE2.1 Ability to undertake problem Developed in lectures, tutorials practical work and
identification, formulation, and solution assignment
PE2.2 Understanding of social, cultural, Not normally included in this unit, but the role of
global, and environmental responsibilities responsible professional practice is recognised as
and the need to employ principles of a design factor.
sustainable development
PE2.4 Proficiency in engineering design The Unit requires students to individually and
collectively solve design problems varying from
single- component to multi-component systems.
PE2.5 Ability to conduct an engineering The Unit contains one major design projects: the
project first portion being design, and the second being
analytically- based.

MEC3416 Engineering design II - Semester 2 - 2016
Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, students will:
1. Integrate first and second year studies into whole design tasks involving a combination of
individual and group work
2. Design moderately complex mechanical devices with mechanical elements, such as
bearing, shafts, fasteners etc
3. Evaluate mechanical designs by using conventional mathematical techniques including

Your feedback to us
One of the formal ways students have to provide feedback on teaching and their learning
experience is through the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) survey. The feedback
is anonymous and provides the Faculty with evidence of aspects that students are satisfied with
and areas for improvement.

Program Outcomes Activities used in this unit to develop program outcomes
PO11Lifelonglearning: N/A
Recognize the need for, and have
the preparation and ability to
engage in independent and life-long

Short videos hosted on Moodle and YouTube will be used to communicate the fundamental
information and background knowledge required for this subject. Moodle quizzes will be used to
check basic comprehension of this material, prior to the in class activities. These quizzes will close
just before the relevant lecture/workshop.
All these videos can be publically accessed at any time at the following channel: Design2atMonash
and all videos are playlisted in topics.
Lecture/Workshops
The scheduled lecture times will generally be used to conduct workshops. These can be thought of
as interactive and academic guided tutorials. Students will work on the problems and activities
presented both individually and in small groups. Examples of student work will be discussed and
reviewed. Some of these activities will be completed outside class as homework tasks. This work
will be collected at the end of each workshop,reviewed,stamped off and returned the following
week in the tutorial times. At the end of semester marks will be allocated based on evidence of
completion of these activities (ie we will count your stamped worksheets). Student must retain all
of their stamped worksheets to be able to show us in week 12. We recommend all students get a 2
ring folder to collect these materials and keep them safe.
If you are unable to attend a workshop, pick up additional copies pinned outside the lecturer's
office or email your lecturer for a soft copy so that you can gain half a stamp (considered as late
submission without prior notice, unlessunable to attend due to emergencies).
Tutorials
Students will have to attend a 1-hour tutorial in some weeks to update their progress and for
discussion on their Project Work. See attached schedule for further details.

Shaft topic moved earlier as this is typically done in the first cycle of design for rotating
machinery.
The metrology lab activities are introduced to address the suggestion to include more hands-
on activity for this unit.
Guidance will be provided in selected tutorial sessions throughout the semester.
CADTASKS were fun to learn. Worksheets, tutorials and lectures are useful resources.
It is an interesting unit where we learn a lot about the analysis of mechanical parts. Lectures
were lively, and I enjoyed the YouTube videos showing us how stuffs are made and how
they function.
Opportunity to work in a group. essential skills on how to approach and solve designing

MEC3416 Engineering design II - Semester 2 - 2016
Blooms Taxonomy:
Three domains of educational activities have been identified under the general taxonomy known
as Blooms.
The cognitive domain involves knowledge and the development of intellectual skills. This includes
the recall or recognition of specific facts, procedural patterns, and concepts that serve in the
development of intellectual abilities and skills.
The affective domain includes the attitudes with which someone deals with things emotionally,
such as feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms and motivations.
The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination, and use of the motor-skill
areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision,
distance, procedures, or techniques in execution.

Returning assignments
Refer to details as stated in Assessment Tasks
Resubmission of assignments
Normally, there is no facility for re-submission of assignments in this Unit due to the group nature

dysfunctional or late withdrawals from the Unit seriously affect the submission. Such events must
be brought to the attention of the Academic-in-charge as soon as they arise.
Plagiarism: Plagiarism means taking and using another persons ideas or manner of expressing
them and passing them off as ones own. For example, by failing to give appropriate
acknowledgement. The material used can be from any source (staff, students or the internet,
published and unpublished works).
Collusion: Collusion means unauthorised collaboration with another person on assessable written,
oral or practical work and includes paying another person to complete all or part of the work.
Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that intentional plagiarism or collusion has
occurred, this will be reported to the Associate Dean (Education) or delegate,
