| | | Learning outcomes |
- EC
| EC1 - The holder of the degree thinks and acts professionally with an appropriate engineering attitude and continuous focus on personal development, adequately communicates, effectively cooperates, takes into account the economical, ethical, social and/or international context and is hereby aware of the impact on the environment. | | | - DC
| DC-M9 - The student can communicate in oral and in written (also graphical) form. | | | | - BC
| The student writes a weekly report on the project activities. He/she takes into account the feedback and submits a final summary report. This is used as basis for an oral defence in front of a jury. | | | - DC
| DC-M10 - The student can function constructively and responsibly as member of a (multidisciplinary) team. | | | | - BC
| The students work in teams. | | | - DC
| DC-M11 - The student acts socially responsible and within an international framework. | | | | - BC
| The students must make socially responsible material choices. | | | - DC
| DC-M12 - The student shows a suitable engineering attitude. | | | | - BC
| An engineering attitude is essential for the project work. | - EC
| EC5 - The holder of the degree has specialist knowledge of and insight in principles and applications within the domains of material science, production and mechanical design or the domain of automation in which he/she can independently identify and critically analyse unfamiliar, complex design or optimisation problems, and methodologically create solutions with eye for data processing and implementation, with the help of numerical simulation techniques or advanced tools, aware of potential mistakes, practical constraints and with attention to the recent technological developments. | | | - DC
| DC-M1 - The student has knowledge of the basic concepts, structures and coherence. | | | | - BC
| The student acquires advanced knowledge of injection moulding (IM): material properties, modelling, equipment, finishing operations, cost calculations, recycling issues, special techniques. | | | - DC
| DC-M2 - The student has insight in the basic concepts and methods. | | | | - BC
| The students acquire advanced insights in all aspects of injection moulding technology. | | | - DC
| DC-M3 - The student can recognize problems, plan activities and perform accordingly. | | | | - BC
| For a given object, the students elaborate both the product design and the forming process. This requires not only a broad knowledge of polymers and processing technologies, but also a variety of engineering skills including CAE tools such as FEM and flow simulations. | | | - DC
| DC-M4 - The student can gather, measure or obtain information and refer to it correctly. | | | | - BC
| The student collects relevant information about products, materials and injection moulding equipment. | | | - DC
| DC-M5 - The student can analyze problems, logically structure and interpret them. | | | | - BC
| The student analyses the required product functionalities and formulates both product and material requirements. | | | - DC
| DC-M6 - The student can select methods and make calculated choices to solve problems or design solutions. | | | | - BC
| The student designs a product using numerical simulations of both the mechanical product properties and the injection moulding process. | | | - DC
| DC-M8 - The student can evaluate knowledge and skills critically to adjust own reasoning and course of action accordingly. | | | | - BC
| The student reflects on all aspects of the product design, the material selection and the impact, taking into account the manufacturing process, material and production costs, market demand, lifetime and life cycle analysis. |

|
|
| Prerequisites |
| |
At the start of this course, the student is expected to have a broad knowledge of polymers and injection moulding technologies.
The student must be able to select appropriate material as seen in the course "Materials selection and forming processes (4536)".
In this course the student will need to apply a variety of engineering skills including CAE tools such as FEM and flow simulations. |

|
| Remarks |
| |
Relation to research:
The student will learn about recent research projects at the research group Polymer Processing and Engineering. He/she has to collect, critically assess and successfully apply necessary information. As the design of polymer product requires complex and multidisciplinary skills, the student will need communication skills and consult information sources as is required in more fundamental research.
Relation to industrial activities:
Polymer processing is an important industrial sector in Limburg. Several companies expect our engineers to have mastered relevant knowledge and skills to design polymer products. |
