Research Abstract |
The "Mechanical Design and Drafting" is positioned as a comprehensive exercise which organically combines "Machine Element Design", "Drafting", "Working Technology" and so on. However, each student is not fairly evaluated on originality and creativity. Moreover, they are mainly evaluated qualitatively, and the rate of quantitive evaluation becomes quite small. In this paper, a new quantitive evaluation scheme is considered using a genetic algorithm(GA) which is one of the evolutional computation. That is, the optimal form is generated using the GA, and the difference between the optimal form and the form designed by the student is evaluated quantitively. Furthermore, the optimal design support method is considered.
