Assessment Criteria

Lectures include whole of the learning outcomes.

Classification, explanation of motion, formation of models; solution of position, velocity and acceleration of mechanisms for a specific configuration are evaluated in mid-term exams.

In final exam, in addition to the subjects of mid-term exams, kinematic analysis of gear trains and cam mechanisms are asked.

Homework includes all topics, however modeling mechanisms and determining motion characteristics by computer programs have higher weighting.
