Manufacturing Engineering

Catalog description

EMET 215 is intended to introduce the student, in both a lecture and site visit setting, to production planning, and production routing for the purpose of part creation and assembly, manufacturing process and equipment layout required for an assembly of artifacts from raw materials to shipping, including material handling. The course will provide students with a thorough understanding of the manufacturing processes and material handling equipment necessary to formulate a facility layout for producing an assembly of artifacts. Additionally, EMET 215 is intended to provide the student, in both a laboratory and site visit setting, learn the skills necessary to design, manufacture, and assemble a simple engineered product. The course will provide the experience and interactions to give them the knowledge necessary to develop basic hands-on skills for processing and assembly operations, 3d printing, operating and programming CNC machinery. Course activities will be based upon equipment/resources available at each campus. It is suggested that students observe manufacturing processing and assembly operations during site visits to local companies, based on availability.
