Product Design, Manufacturing Specifications, and Measurements

Catalog description

Elements of Product Design, Manufacturing Specifications, and Measurements with applications in the design, manufacture, and metrology of discrete parts. Elements of design and manufacturing engineering with an emphasis on the tools, standards, and methods used for product and part representation, specifications, and measurements. Students will learn to identify product dimensional design requirements and develop deterministic and probabilistic solution methods to sets of dependent and independent design requirements. They will then be exposed to industrial interchangeability models and their solutions. This will be followed by an in-depth exposure to the standardization of design and manufacturing, information embodied in the ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101 Standards. The specification and interpretation of the dimensional and geometric tolerances contained in these standards will be enhanced with applications in design, manufacturing, and metrology. The class will conclude with an introduction to the operation of metrology hardware including Zeiss, OGP, and FARO contact and non-contact measuring machines. The preceding body of material will provide the students with a sound foundation of design and manufacturing knowledge that will serve them in subsequent design and manufacturing classes. Students are expected to have taken a prior class in probability and statistics.
