Detailed description of topics:

The design project is aimed at the design of a mechanical device. A design-problem will be translated into technical specs. Main and sub-functions will be discerned and the possibilities to materialize these functions. The result of the design-process is a design-file, with essays, calculations, sketches and drawings. When possible, a prototype will be made and tested. The student will defend his design orally and in writing.
