Manufacturing Processes

Catalog description

This course explores core manufacturing processes, including casting, molding, forming, cutting, machining, joining, and the manufacturing of reinforced polymers (composites) and ceramic powder processing. Additionally, it covers Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), programming, networking, and data communications, which are essential for modern manufacturing. Key focus areas include Design for Manufacturability (DFM), which streamlines product development to minimize costs and delays, and quality assurance practices, emphasizing inspection, testing, and defect analysis. Hands-on exercises and simulations provide practical experience in utilizing CAM software and conducting quality inspections. By the end of the course, students have a thorough understanding of manufacturing processes, reading them to optimize production workflows, enhance product quality, and innovate in industrial sectors. Note, students registering for this course are assessed a course resource fee. View Sample Syllabus
