Machine Element Planning Info

The Mechanical Element Planning (PEM) course with a weight of 2 SKS in the Mechanical Engineering Study Program is one of the courses that must be taken by every Mechanical Engineering student to practice their knowledge after obtaining Mechanical Element I and II courses.

Machine Element Planning is intended so that students better understand any machine components and how the mechanism works or understand a machine part or a machine designed for certain purposes such as cutting, peeling, stirring, drying and so on so that it can produce a product. In short, the machines that are designed are in three categories, namely solid, fluid and heat engines. The planning stage generally starts from the selection of planning topics, that is, only certain parts of the machine or type of machine, processed raw materials, calculation of motor power, planning of engine components such as shafts, bearings, transmissions, etc., recapitulation, planning drawings, and (if needed) making prototypes machine.

To further improve the success of machine element planning, it is necessary to have a systematic effort as in other courses that require face-to-face in class and also guidance by lecturers. For this reason, it is necessary to make a standard procedure for implementing machine element planning.
