The conversation between human and AI assistant.
Can you suggest some projects for mechanical engineering students that includes design and analysis on machine elments?
Those all sound like great options. Can you recommend any resources for students to research these ideas further?
Absolutely. The textbook "Mechanical Design: An Integrated Approach" by Ansel Ugural and S. K. Fenster covers many of these topics and provides a good foundation for mechanical design and analysis. There are also plenty of online resources and software tools available for students to use, such as SolidWorks and ANSYS.
