Theory of Machines and Mechanisms is a basic technical subject that aims to cultivate the students’ thinking skills in engineering and the ability of the students to innovatively design mechanical systems. This course is a fundamental course in machinery engineering.
Through the combination of theoretical teaching and practical applications such as experiments and actual machine operation, the students are expected to learn the principles of machine mechanisms and the basic theory and methods of structural designing with the development of the students’ ability to design mechanisms with an intermediate complexity or motion schemes for mechanical systems. Additionally, this course aims to develop the students’ ability to proof, analyze, and evaluate questions in complex locomotive mechanical engineering. At the end of this course, the students are expected to acquire a rudimentary understanding of modern machinery techniques and skills and advanced designing systems that students should be able to operate and apply to practical situations with proficiency. In addition, the students should also obtain an extensive knowledge and develop skills to solve relative practical questions in machinery designing.
This course aims to cultivate the ability of the students in innovatively design of mechanisms with an intermediate complexity. Students are expected to learn the principles of machine and mechanism composition, to master the related theories and methods for kinematic analysis, to acquire a good understanding of the methods for the design of various types of mechanisms widely used in industry. At last, the students should obtain an extensive knowledge and develop skills to solve relative practical questions in machinery designing.
