Study Programmes 2015-2016

INGE0010-1

Energy and engines, 2nd part

Duration :

12h Th, 12h Pr

Number of credits :

Master in environmental bioengineering (120 ECTS)		2

Lecturer :

Frédéric Lebeau

Language(s) of instruction :

French language

Organisation and examination :

Teaching in the first semester, review in January

Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Course contents :

The course aims to train students to basics of power and energy design for machinery in relations to stated specifications. It includes three linked parts
- Mechanical conception
- Energetical sizing
- Power sizing

Learning outcomes of the course :

Design and size a power machine in three dimensions by means of a computer-aided design software
Make a choice among the various possible energetic media to power a machine by answering a predefined specification in an uncertain and poorly controlled environment .
Print a reduce scale 3-D model of the designed machinery
After the course, the student should be able to
1. Design a power machine according to specifications in order to manufacture a prototype.
2. Choose energy, motors, energy tanks suited to the machine it should activate .
3. Propose and justify technical choices made to meet specifications

Prerequisite knowledge and skills :

-- MECA0490-1 - Engineering mechanics
-- PHYS3007-1 - General physics
-- ELEC0438-1 - Electricity

Planned learning activities and teaching methods :

The proposed project-based learning as part of the course starts from an individual project to meet a predefined specification .Different solutions must be proposed by each student and duly justified choice.
Thereafter the solution proposed must be the subject of further analysis and specific technical details better explored in order to arrive at a most successfuldraft
Finally students are grouped together in groups of 5 to 6 people to achieve a synthesis of their projects into a final prototype which is the subject of a detailed numerical modeling and the production of a model printing 3 -D .
Each phase is the subject of a correction and an evaluation as well as a collective presentation allowing the student to learn of his errors and successes as well as from the variety of solutions explored by the whole group.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :

Mixed individual and group project : 24h
