N2 - This paper presents the topics, methods and objectives of a new lecture on CAD-integrated kinematic design of linkages for master students. The contents enable students in mechanical engineering to analyze and synthesize structures kinematically using advanced software tools such as numerical and algebraic computation software as well as 3D solid modeler. The structures range from 1-DOF mechanisms up to multi-DOF serial and parallel linkages. Using a generalized nomenclature and vector-matrix-based formulation of the geometry and kinematics of the systems, students are enabled to design both planar and spatial structures. The major objective is to provide the techniques and foundations for task specific synthesis and analysis of linkages with a strong focus on practical applications, which is demonstrated in an example design session in this paper.
