LEARNING OBJECTIVES
upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
- know the basics of technical drawing, characterize a part, a mechanical assembly,
- identify the different mechanical construction materials,
- know the fundamentals of mechanical system design, the main assemblies (bearing assemblies),
- know the main power transmission elements (gears, joints…), wisely use the metrology devices used in workshop,
- describe the mechanical strength, chemical resistance and thermal resistance.
