<p>This units covers advanced principles of mechanical component design (relevant to mechatronics systems). Approaches to the design of specific machine components (such as bolts, rolling bearings, stepped shafts, belts, clutches and gears) are considered in the broader context of the choices presented to a design engineer. The design process includes considerations of safety and compliance with standards. Assessment of mechanical failure is also discussed in some depth.</p>

FedTASK
FedTASK
<p>Federation University recognises that students require key transferable employability skills to prepare them for their future workplace and society. FedTASKs (<strong>T</strong>ransferable <strong>A</strong>ttributes <strong>S</strong>kills and <strong>K</strong>nowledge) provide a targeted focus on five key, transferable Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge that are embedded within curriculum, developed gradually towards successful measures and interlinked with cross-discipline and co-operative learning opportunities.</p>
