1. Explanation of the links between the design process, the product quality assurance and the materials selection in mechanical design. 2. Engineering materials and their properties, material designation, material properties information - Cambridge Engineering Selector (CES EduPack), the material property charts. 3. The selection strategy for engineering materials. Material indices. The selection procedure for engineering materials. Computer-aided selection of engineering materials. 4. Case study of materials selection. 5. Selection of material and shape of the component. 6. Manufacturing processes for engineering materials and their process selection. 7. Materials and the environment. 8. Basic information for designers about quality assurance of the technical product in pre-production stage of its life cycle for mass production. 9. Overview of basic tools and methods of quality assurance. 10. Linking Geometrical product specifications (GPS) and quality assurance in pre-production stage of the product lifecycle.
