Machine design or we can say that mechanical design is one of the braches of engineering. The skills towards the machine designing or mechanical designing have the potential to lead to the formation of the completely new an advanced machines as well as they can lead to the improvement of the existing machine.

Machine Design: For the purpose of understanding the essentiality of machine or mechanical design exactly, we must consider the example of the gear box of the cars. It is helpful in transmitting the motion and the power of the engine to the wheels of the vehicles. It consists of group of gears that are subjected to motion as well as load of the vehicle.

In order to ruin at the targeted speed and taking desired loads for the gears, it is essential that it should be designed. At the time of designing multiple calculations are performed, desired speed along with loads should be considered.

After that the gear of the particular material and specific dimensions has the ability to take all loads and as well as it can be manufactured the possible cost and it gives optimum performances which is designed.

Similarly, all the components of the car which also includes engine must be designed so that they could optimally meet all the functional requirements at the lowest possible cost. This process of designing is known as machine designing or mechanical designing.

These designs can be termed as the process through which resources and energy can be converted into the useful mechanical forms as well as mechanisms in order to obtain useful output from the machines in the desired form according to the requirements of the human beings.

Through the machine designing, formation of new machines can be done easily or it can lead to up-gradation and improvements in the current machines such as if the current gear box is too much heavy and cannot sustain the actual loads, then whole new gear box can be designed.

But if there is the situation that some gear box have the potential to lift more weights, then it could be upgraded by the making definite essential changes in its designs.

Purpose of Machine Design Course: Through this course, the students will be able to understand the fundamentals of the designing the most commonly used parts as well as elements and units of multiple machines.
