Design Projects
Apart from the core research of understanding the mechanics of materials, Dr. Feizal Yusof is the lead lecturer-cum-supervisor involved in design projects related to Mechanical machines and Mechanical systems which we offer to our students as part of their core courses in year 3 and year 4 Mechanical Engineering undergraduate program.
Dr. Feizal would like to welcome interested individual, students, engineers and private and public organizations to engage with us in design projects that are of interest to you based on our projects or your own design project.
We also welcome strategic partnership with private and public individuals, companies and organizations to work with us in products that can benefit local and international communities.
Design Projects 2019
The Mechanical Engineering program at the University of Science Malaysia is tailored to meet the demand of engineers in a fast changing engineering industries. One of the most important characteristic of an engineer is to be able to engage in design and development of ideas, products for the benefit of communities and the environment and to ensure a sustainable management of resources available.
The Mechanical Engineering program offers two distinct design courses for the senior undergraduate course which are the Machine Design (EMD332) and the Mechanical Engineering Integrated Design (EMD431) equivalent to a senior year capstone design course.
The Machine Design course sought students to design, build and test mechanical machines while the Mechanical Engineering Integrated Design requires student to evaluate and verify a mechanical system via simulation and based on the simulated results to offer a design improvement of the analysed mechanical system.
For both design courses, the student are required to identify the customer need, student research the market, developed original design concepts and create a full business plan.
Students put together displays to explain the technical ideas and business potential behind their design work. The projects are always diverse and normally include conceptual solutions, technical and experimental designs. Students are encouraged to produce and verify their design outcomes using various acceptable engineering solutions.
A list of the Machine Design projects are listed as follows
1. Water jet washing machine
2. Unmanned surveillance rover
3. Thrash compacting machine
4. Neck massaging machine
5. Water chiller machine
6. Gimbal stabilizer
7. Stroke rehab machine
8. Exoskeleton machine
9. Food waste shredder
10. Travelator
11. Automatic ironing machine
12. Keropok Lekor machine
13. Portable energy generator
