Engineering design reports, design for fatigue, fasteners, welded joints, cranes: use of engineering codes, pressure vessel design, hydraulic machinery.
Course will cover more in-depth engineering design methods than ENME 301 and cover procedures that are not included in the engineering science subjects. The subject matter will have a biomedical design focus and will include additional content to cover bioethics and regulatory compliance. In particular, this course furthers skills in engineering report writing, calculation sets and drawing presentation. It introduces the use of standards. Overall students are brought to a level where they can undertake a substantial engineering design problem in a methodical manner, and can produce a professional quality design report. Specific content includes:• Brainstorming & Concept Development• Hand Analysis & Design Specs• Risk Management & Biostatistics• Hand Sketching & Mock-ups• Prototyping & Scaling• Finite Element Analysis• Engineering Drawings, Dimensioning, & Tolerancing• Biocompatibility & Safety• Soft Tissues, Fluid Environments• Incorporating Electronics• Fatigue Design• Welded & Bolted Joints• Instrumentation & Sensors, Testing, Data Gathering• Pumps & Pressure Vessels• Regulatory Bodies & Use of Standards• Bioethics• Machining, Design for Manufacturing• 3D Printing, Injection Moulding, Forming• Good Manufacturing Practices (Just in Time, Lean, Six Sigma)
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:Produce a conceptual and detailed design solution for an open-ended system that is only partially defined at the conceptual levelProduce a professional design report including calculation set, and drawings.Design pressure vessels by creating a conceptual solution to a problem and applying standards to complete the detailed design Design components and structures using sections, bolted joints and welds, subjected to fatigue loadingProduce design solutions that accommodate functional constraints as well as manufacturability, production economics, aesthetics, and safety.Understand design responsibilities regarding risk, reserve/safety factors, and ethical considerationsUnderstand modern production management methodsUnderstand what it means to work in the highly regulated medical device field, including regulatory compliance, bioethics, and biostatistics.
This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attributes specified below:
Critically competent in a core academic discipline of their award
Students know and can critically evaluate and, where applicable, apply this knowledge to topics/issues within their majoring subject.
Biculturally competent and confident
Students will be aware of and understand the nature of biculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand, and its relevance to their area of study and/or their degree.
Engaged with the community
Students will have observed and understood a culture within a community by reflecting on their own performance and experiences within that community.
