Learning outcomes
The students
- know an alternative approach to engineering design that relies on automation of design tasks in order to reduce time required and cost.
- understand the basic concepts of Engineering Knowledge and Knowledge-Based Engineering and will be able to gather the Engineering Knowledge required to implement knowledge based configuration models for basic to complex products.
- obtain general competence in the human aspects of using KBE, how KBE effects engineering work processes, as well as an overall understanding of the whole engineering process.
- are able to find engineering alternatives and improved functional design solutions, and to evaluate and select these, based on varying criteria.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
- Lecture with integrated practical work
- Supervised and independent exercises,
- Project work
- Project presentation
- Guest lectures by external experts on the use and development of KBE
