    Department of Mechanical Engineering

    MCG 3131-A00 Machine Design – Winter 2024

    The application of the theory of mechanics of materials to the design of machine elements. Prerequisites:
    CVG2140, MCG2101, MCG2361/2365. MCG 3145/3131.

    Professor: Ahsan Ahmed, PhD, P Eng. e-mail: [email protected]

    Course goals: Give students tools and procedures for the proper design and sizing of machine components
    (through lectures and tutorials), and have the students practice design independently (through term project).

    Required textbook: RC Juvinall and KM Marshek, Fundamentals of machine component design,5th ( or any
    available) edition.
    Other references (not required):
    Shigley JE, Mischke CR. Mechanical Engineering Design (8th edition), McGraw-Hill, NY, 2008.
    Collins JA, Mechanical design of machine elements and machines, John Wiley & Sons, 2003.

    Evaluation: Assignments 6, Quizzes 3 * 20% ( 14% + 6%)


    Open book (Text Book ONLY) midterm exam 20%
    Term project report ** 30%
    Open book (Text Book ONLY) final exam 30%

    *Quizzes dates ( During DGDs):


    Quiz 1:Feb ( 6, 9) Quiz 2: March (12, 15), Quiz 3: March (26, 29).
    ** Term project in a group of 3-4 students. Details will be provided later.

    Students who do not feel sufficiently well for attending an exam must provide written original evidence justifying
    their absence from their doctor or the University of Ottawa Health Services, dated the day of the exam. For the
    midterm exam, the medical note must be supplied to the professor who will unilaterally decide of remedial
    measures to be taken with regards to the missing mark. For the final exam, the evidence must be provided to
    the Undergraduate Office of the Faculty. In the case of a justified (aforementioned) absence from a quiz, the
    score of the quizzes will be the average of the quizzes completed. In the event of a justified absence from the
    mid-term examination, the weight of the mid-term examination will be transferred to the final examination. Note:
    No make up quizzes or exams will be given.

    CEAB Graduate Attributes Continual Improvement Process (GAPIC)

    The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) is the organization that accredits engineering programs
    in Canada. CEAB has introduced as a requirement for accredited programs, the Continuous Curriculum
    Improvement Process, which according to the EGAD project web page(https://egad.engineering.queensu.ca/)
    is “An iterative process of review that enables ready identification of strengths, limitations, gaps and
    redundancies within a program.” The process is implemented by measuring a list of 12 Graduate Attributes
    defined by CEAB, which are generic characteristics, expected to be exhibited by graduates of Canadian
    engineering schools. Given the generic nature of GAs (so that they apply to all engineering programs),
    measurements are made with respect to Indicators, which specialize the GAs to the specific program. The list
    of GAs and related indicators for Mechanical Engineering and for Biomedical Mechanical Engineering can be
    found in this document:
    http://by.genie.uottawa.ca/~spinello/accreditation_resources/MCG_MGB_indicators.pdf.

    The following set of indicators will be measured in this course through grades from different assessment tools:

    2C Applied: Apply theory of mechanics of materials for determining the proper sizing of machine
    components: Quizzes and assignments.
    4C Applied: Apply the tools and procedures to the design of machine elements: Final exam.
    6B Applied: Independently design a gearbox for a specified speed reduction and load: Term project report.
