Themodified curriculum aims to provide students with hands-on experience in the development ofnew products following procedures used in the research and development departments in theindustry. The hands-on laboratories included in the course Machine Design are carried out afteran introduction to the design philosophy presented by Eggert 1 and most of the first two parts ofthe textbook by Budynas and Nisbett2. The design philosophy included in this course splits thedesign process in five phases1 (formulation, concept design, configuration design, parametricdesign
