A typical Machine Design course truly integrates thecore concepts taught in Linear Algebra, Statics and Mechanics of Materials courses to a greatextent that no other course sequence exists in an undergraduate engineering curriculum, the onlyexception could be a Capstone Design course that usually requires many other pre-requisites inorder to give a truly multi-disciplinary design experience. Use of some of the math and/or CAEtools as a part of a machine design course is believed to help performing parametric studies andto evolve alternative designs. Due to its nature, students should be taught to appreciate open-endedness and ambiguity of design requirements that are inherent

The course is a senior level course with a commonobjective which is to mainly allow students to reinforce their technical skills and to integrate andapply them to solve engineering problems. ABET1 states the definition of engineering design as“Engineering design is the process of devising a system, component, or process to meet desiredneeds. It is a decision-making process (often iterative), in which the basic sciences, mathematics,and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.Among the fundamental elements of the design process are the establishment of objectives andcriteria, synthesis, analysis
