Course Introduction

Mechanical Theory and Design is a key foundational course for undergraduate students majoring in mechanical and design engineering in higher engineering colleges. It plays a bridging and transitional role in the students' professional courses and technical foundations. The course primarily introduces the principles of the composition of mechanisms in mechanical systems, kinematics, and other basic issues, enabling students to deeply understand the working principles and characteristics of various mechanical mechanisms. The curriculum covers the design principles, calculation methods of mechanical component structures, as well as material selection and basic manufacturing processes, providing students with comprehensive knowledge of mechanical design. Through the study of this course, students will not only master the analysis and design of mechanical structures but also be able to flexibly apply industry standards, specifications, manuals, and catalogs for design work. The course particularly emphasizes the cultivation of students' engineering analysis and design capabilities, engineering expression and communication skills, enabling students to reasonably utilize technical information and proficiently use tool software. In addition, the course in Mechanical Theory and Design is also committed to enhancing students' innovation ability and system scheme design capability. These abilities are crucial for the success of students in future creative design and research work in engineering products. Through systematic study of this course, students will lay a solid foundation for working in the fields of mechanical and industrial product design, opening the door to their careers in the field of mechanical design.
