Course description and aims

This course focuses on fundamentals of precision machinery and introduces modern precision machines and micro-nano machines.

Student learning outcomes

In order for students to understand the concept of precision machinery, the instructor lectures on many precision elements such as bearings, guideways, feeding elements, actuators and sensors and fabrication methods.

Keywords

precision machinery, micro-nano machine, feeding mechanism, guiding mechanism, actuator, sensor, control, motion generation, motion constraint, Abbe's principle, precision machining, assembling

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

At the end of each lecture, you should take a mini test.
