Mechanical Engineering Design as a Graduate Course?

01 January 2019 1 1K Report

I am thinking of using Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design as a special topics graduate course "Design of Machine Elements for Aerospace Engineers". Even though the book does not claim to be a graduate level text, but I think it will add richness to the curriculum of an MSC coursework oriented for the industry. Has anyone seen a similar course and help me formulate the topic outline? I have taught an undergrad semester course based on the book for mechanical engineering several times.

Luca Watanabe Reolon

My recommendation will be take a look in this book: Engineering Design, by Pahl & Beitz. This is a very classical book developed by German authors which has great systematic to develop mechanical projects. This book has many examples of how make decisions and plan projects.
