| Brief description of the Unit |
| This unit enables students to describe and explain the principles of machine design and analysis, to relate and integrate environmental, social, organisational, and economic aspects in engineering design and to identify and emphasise issues of sustainable development in engineering practice. It introduces students to the methods of product and component design and to their analysis using computer algebra systems and other available CAD Packages. |
