This course, SDM232 ‘Mechanical Design and Manufacturing I’, is the mechanical engineering (ME) stream module of
SDIM Integrative course. It offers the students basic knowledge in machine design essential to developing engineering
thinking and basic mechanical engineering skills in machine design and manufacturing.
The course first presents methods of analysis and design of machines, including study of displacements, velocities,
accelerations, and static and dynamic forces required for the proper design of mechanical linkages, cams, and geared
systems. Then it presents concepts and procedures for designing and manufacturing machine elements commonly
found in mechanical devices and systems, including cams, gears, and belt drives for mechanical power transmission,
shafts and bearings, etc. The course is complemented with extensive Computer-aided design (CAD) / Computer-aided
engineering (CAE) software practice and bite-sized lab sessions.
The course may serve either as a core course for year-two students majoring ME stream at SDIM, or as the ‘B Version’
of ME303 ‘Fundamentals of Machine Design’, a core course offered by the department of mechanical and energy
engineering.

By the end of this course, students should have mastered the following abilities:
• Be able to conduct structure analysis of mechanisms and calculate their degree of freedom.
• Be able to conduct kinematic and kinetic analysis of planar mechanisms.
• Be familiar with linkage mechanism, cam mechanism, gear mechanism and gear trains. Be able to conduct
fundamental design of these mechanisms.
• Be familiar with machine system and be able to conduct the efficiency, balance and fluctuation analysis.
• Be familiar with generally used machine elements and mechanical drives.
