College of Electrical & Mechanical Engineering


Term Project: ME-320 Machine Design II

Design of an engineering component/assembly

1 Introduction:
This term project requires the students to participate in a group activity to work on the design of an engineering
component/assembly that involves the application of high cycle fatigue failure theory. The students must additionally
establish that the problem they have chosen can be categorized as a complex engineering problem (CEP). The attributes
of CEP are given in Section 5.

2 Contents of report:
The project report should consist of the following sections, and must include the information given against each heading:
• Title Page: title of the project and group member names
• Abstract: a summary of the objectives of the project and an overview of main results and conclusions
• Introduction: the justification for choosing a particular project and the broad outline of the work
• Justification regarding CEP: this section establishes that the chosen project fulfills at least the first attribute of CEP
and any one of the other attributes
• Design/Analysis details: the crux of the report which includes all the relevant details of your work
• Conclusion: a summary of the work

3 Group Formulation and report submission guidelines:


• Maximum number of members in a group: 4
• Mode of submission: Ring-bound hardcopy produced by a word processor
• Deadline: 1200 hrs. (noon) on 5 Jun 2022 (Mon) submitted to the instructor’s office.

4.1 Evaluation
The evaluation scheme is as follows:
# Criterion Marks
1 Timely submission 15
2 Technical quality 30
Design, comprehensiveness and
completion, adherence to
instructions, etc.
3 Difficulty level (Complexity) 20
5 Look and formatting 15
Total 80
4.2 Use of commercial FEA software
Students who will corroborate/support their analytical results with a commercial FEA software will be awarded a
maximum of 20 bonus marks.

5 Attributes of CEPs:
a. Cannot be resolved without in-depth engineering knowledge
b. Involve wide-ranging or conflicting technical, engineering, and other issues
c. Have no obvious solution and require abstract thinking and originality in analysis to formulate suitable models
d. Involve infrequently encountered issues
e. Outside problems encompassed by standards and codes of practice for professional engineering
f. Involve diverse groups of stakeholders with widely varying needs
g. High level problems including many component parts or sub-problems
