Learning objectives and syllabus

Learning objectives:

Apply scenario techniques to describe the use situation/environment intended for the product. - Apply function structures to describe and analyse the functional structure of a product. - Apply Ischikawa-diagram to categorize and analyse parameters and related aspects. - Apply requirement and features profile in order to identify and specify critical material features. - Use software for robust design and tolerance analysis on a simple assembled product. - Use software for DFA-analyse to evaluate the assembly friendliness of an assembled product. - Use software for systematic materials selection in order to identify suitable design materials based on a requirement profile. - Apply FMEA to identify and envisage the effect of different error sources. - Apply LCA-analysis in order to analyse a product s negative effect on the environment. - Critically evaluate both results and usefulness of the respective methods. - Run a group development project. - Present results in writing and orally, also of work carried out.

Study plan

If the course is a joint course (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet) you should link to both syllabus (Chalmers and Göteborgs Universitet).

Examination form

Description of how the examination – written examinations and other – is executed and assessed.

Include:

• what components are included, the purpose of these, and how they contribute to the learning objectives

• examination form, e.g. if the examination is conducted as a digital examination

• time and place of examination, both written exams and other exams such as project presentations
• aids permitted during examinations, as well as which markings, indexes and notes in aids are permitted

Do not forget to be extra clear with project assignments; what is the problem, what should be done, what is the expected result, and how should this result be reported. Details such as templates for project reports, what happens at missed deadlines etc. are extra important to include.
