Teaching methods
Teaching is organized according to the following phases:
1. Frontal teaching in the classroom on theoretical aspects.
2. Exercices on CAD drawing and numerical simulations in the computer lab.
3. Design, numerical simulation and drawing of a complex mechanism assigned to students' groups.
Assessment methods
Assessment by oral exam, during which the following topics will be discussed:
- Exercises collected in the notebook with applied theory.
- Technical report on the mechanism designed and developed by the students' group.
Teaching tools
- PowerPoint presentations for lectures.
- Creo Parametric CAD software for 3D drawing, kinematic, dynamic and structural analysis of mechanisms.
- Computer laboratory.
