Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
Students will learn about the mechanisms necessary for manufacturing, such as links, friction vehicles, cams, and belts as mechanisms for changing the direction and direction of rotation, and the types of motion, while making a test of the movements of the mechanisms used in actual machines.
Style:
Lectures will be given in line with the textbook.
Notice:
As there are many diagrams of the mechanism, students must draw their own diagrams and use imagination to understand what moves how and to see the essence.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
