1.1. Aims of the course
The subject and its learning outcomes are aligned with the following approaches and aims:
The content of machine design criteria focuses on two main points: On the one hand obtaining knowledge about different design criteria for components or mechanical assemblies and applying them; on the other hand being able to identify and characterize the most common machine elements with a critical point of view.
Within the first point, the importance of applying a proper design methodology to consider all the relevant factors that influence mechanical design is shown. Within the second, the student will understand the behavior of each elements in a mechanical assembly, whether it is part of a joint or a transmission, being able to identify and calculate the different loads involved and assess design alternatives
2.1. Competences
BASIC COMPETENCES
CB01. Students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that is part of the general secondary education curricular, and is typically at a level which, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that involve knowledge of the forefront of their field of study.
CB02. Students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have competences typically demonstrated through devising and defending arguments and solving problems within their field of study.
CB03. Students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) to inform judgments that include an important reflection on social, scientific or ethical issues.
CB04. Students can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
CB05. Students have developed those skills needed to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy.

4. Methodology, learning tasks, syllabus and resources
4.1. Methodological overview
The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards the achievement of the learning objectives. The learning process designed for this subject is based on the following.
The teaching process has 4 main activities: Lectures for theory (large group sessions), Lectures for problems (large group sessions), Practice sessions at laboratory and Assignments promoting the increasing student participation. The contents about mechanical design criteria and mechanical elements characterization will be explained in theoretical sessions and illustrated with real examples. Problems lectures will explain how to solve numerical case studies and test cases. Practices at laboratory will be developed in small group sessions where students will work with test rigs, mechanical systems and software needed to solve the proposed exercises. The Assignements will be supervised by the professor through tutorial works, and will consist in individual work that will be presented and defended when finished.
Added to the recomended bibliography shown in references, teaching documents and presentations, and softwares will be provided as supporting materials.
4.2. Learning tasks
The following activities included in subject program are offered to the students to help them achieved the required learning outcomes:
Type 1 Teaching: Theory classes (30 hours). Theory classes of machine design criteria and characterization of machine elements. These classes are based on explaining theoretical concepts by means of common teaching resources. (Power Point presentations...).
Type 2 Teaching: Exercises classes (15 hours). Exercises classes of machine design criteria and characterization of machine elements. These classes are based on showing and solving problems and case studies by means of common teaching resources. (Power Point presentations...)
Type 3 Teaching: Laboratory practices(12 hours). Practical lessons of Mechanical Desing and Machine Elements. They are based on the explanation of exercises and a personal attention to the students to guide them in solving the exercises.
Type 6 Teaching: Mentored practical assignments (23 hours). Mentored practical assignments are work that the students carry out in small groups with the guidance and supervision of thetecaher. At the end of the aassigment, it will be presented by the students.
Type 7 Teaching: Personal study time. Individual study time needed to consolidate a proper learning process.
Type 8 Teaching: Assessment. In addition to the qualifiying funtion, the assessment is also a learning tool as the students check their degree of understansding of the subject.
Other activities: Tutorial sessions. Direct student help, learning problems identification, guidance with the subject, help with exercises and assignments
4.3. Syllabus
The planned subject program is:
- Design methodology
- Analysis of the influence of the manufacturing process on the design
- Tolerances and design
- Other factors in mechanical design: Load types, drives, materials...
- Stiffness-based design
- Design based on weight and volume criteria
- Design for minimum environmental impact
- Other design criteria: Assembly, transportation...
- Characterization of joining, transmission, conversion and other elements in machines
- Characterization of other machine elements
The programmed laboratory practices are:
1. Functional analysis of the tolerances of a machine and machine assembly and disassembly methodologies.
2. Injected plastic components design criteria.
3. Comparison of several mechanical designs for the same function.
4. Theoretical and experimental spring analysis.
5. Mechanism design under technical specifications.
4.4. Course planning and calendar
Further information concerning the timetable, classroom, office hours, assessment dates and other details regarding this course will be provided on the first day of class or please refer to the EINA website (http://eina.unizar.es).
Each professor will inform about his tutorials timetable.
Any other extra and optional activities will be planned depending on the number of students an will be informed sufficiently in advance.
