The course deals with an applied subject, where previously acquired knowledge should be applied and integrated with certain new given theory. The course content can be divided into three main parts:
1. Systems design of products containing:
Drive units
Transmissions
Joints
2. Design structures
Load carrying structures, load application
Load lines, stress concentrations
Choice of material
Manufacturing adaptation
3. Documentation and communication
Drawings
Dimensioning, tolerancing
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the students should be able to:
Design and detail mechanical engineering products based on engineering considerations.
Estimate loads for mechanical engineering products and its included components.
Apply different design principles of load bearing and load transferring structures.
Choose engineering materials and standardised components in mechanical engineering products.
Produce dimensioned and toleranced manufacturing drawings of mechanical engineering products.

Support for students with disabilities
Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
INL1 - Hand in exercises, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: P, F
TEN1 - Written examination, 3.0 credits, Grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Ethical approach
All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
