PTCME381 Design Concepts in Engineering Syllabus – Anna University Part time Regulation 2023

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1 To study the various design requirements and get acquainted with the processes involved in product development.
2 To study the design processes to develop a successful product.
3 To learn scientific approaches to provide design solutions.
4 Designing solution through relate the human needs and provide a solution.
5 To study the principles of material selection, costing and manufacturing in design.

UNIT – I DESIGN TERMINOLOGY

Definition-various methods and forms of design-importance of product design-static and dynamic products-various design projects-morphology of design-requirements of a good design-concurrent engineering-computer aided engineering-codes and standards-product and process cycles-bench marking.

UNIT – II INTRODUCTION TO DESIGN PROCESSES

Basic modules in design process-scientific method and design method-Need identification, importance of problem definition-structured problem, real life problem- information gathering -customer requirementsQuality Function Deployment (QFD)- product design specifications-generation of alternative solutionsAnalysis and selection-Detail design and drawings-Prototype, modeling, simulation, testing and evaluation

UNIT – III CREATIVITY IN DESIGN

Creativity and problem solving-vertical and lateral thinking-invention-psychological view, mental blocksCreativity methods-brainstorming, synectics, force fitting methods, mind map, concept map-Theory of innovative problem solving (TRIZ) – conceptual decomposition creating design concepts.

UNIT – IV HUMAN AND SOCIETAL ASPECTS IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Human factors in design, ergonomics, user friendly design-Aesthetics and visual aspects environmental aspects-marketing aspects-team aspects-legal aspects-presentation aspects

UNIT – V MATERIAL AND PROCESSES IN DESIGN

Material selection for performance characteristics of materials-selection for new design substitution for existing design-economics of materials-selection methods-recycling and material selection-types of manufacturing process, process systems- Design for Manufacturability (DFM) – Design for Assembly (DFA).
