Course goals:
Give students tools and procedures for the proper design (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 edition, Wiley, 2012. Available from Agora Bookstore, 145 rue Besserer
St., Ottawa.
