Content
Mechanical design is at the heart of the professional practice of an engineer. Based on specifications, the designer's objective is to quickly and efficiently arrive at an optimized pre-project. The mechanical designer: • Designs mechanical systems, • Projects (draws), • Sizes the mechanical components, • Defines the technological characteristics, • Specifies the technical features, • Guides the production department. Each session includes a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part allows the student to improve his knowledge in the following areas: • Tribology (friction, wear and lubrication of mechanical contacts), • Functional quotation, dimensional and geometric tolerancing, • Mechanical connections (pivot, embedding, helical and slide), • Power transmission (gears, pulley/belt, constant velocity joints). The practical part allows the student to apply his knowledge through a team project comprising the following phases: • Analysis of the initial need and development of the Functional Specifications (CDCF), • Production of kinematic diagrams, equivalence classes and linkage graphs, • Realization of sketches and first diagrams of principles, • Carrying out the sizing of the main components and mechanical parts, • Creation of definition plans for each part, and overall drawings, • Writing of a complete mechanical design report.

Pre-requisites / co-requisites
The knowledge that characterizes these training courses corresponds to the Physics Technology & Engineering Sciences program (PTSI) of the preparatory classes. It is a transversal approach to mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, mechanics, technical drawing, materials science and technology as well as mechanical machining.
