The objective of this course is to cover the manufacturing analysis required to transform raw materials into finished products in conformance with specifications.
This course encompasses theory and principles for economical design of tooling for production, including process planning and numerical control of machine tools.
COURSE STRUCTURE :
Course structure is two 50 minute lectures and a two hour recitation per week. Lecture time will be used to cover the production engineering topicsand recitation time will be used to reinforce lecture topics, problem solving practice and term project work. Students work in teams to complete a semester long project consisting of a the production of rapid prototypes for the raw and finished material forms of a discrete part and a detailed process plan for the machining of this part.
