Design Projects 2018

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 students are required to identify the customer need, then the 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.
