Part of the YH programme CAD designer in mechanics at TUC Yrkeshögskola. This course cannot be applied for on its own. Programme code: CAD23LIN.
Structural Design and Calculations gives you knowledge of technical drawing, strength of materials and mechanics through a mix of theory and practical design tasks. You practice solving real design problems and learn to calculate the forces and moments that act on a structure. After the course you can present the results of your calculations and propose engineering improvements. The course is given as part of TUC's YH programs for technical design roles.
Duration: 9 weeks
Language: Swedish
Level: Beginner
CSN-eligible
Time commitment: 45 YH credits, approx. 9 weeks of full-time study
The course aims for the student to develop knowledge and understanding of technical drawing, strength of materials and mechanics. Theory is combined with practice through various design tasks, in which problem solving is a central part. The aim of the course is for the student to develop specialized knowledge to be able to calculate the forces and moments that act on a structure. After completing the course, the student has the competence to understand and present the results of calculations in mechanics and strength of materials, and to propose changes to the design based on the results in an engineering manner.
