Prerequisite: ENG31 1001 Engineering Materials

This course is a study for the main manufacturing processes. It will illustrate how a design is turned into a product. It will offer a detailed understanding of manufacturing processes used in industry and will relate the design requirements of a part to the possible manufacturing processes. The course will also discuss how the material properties of a product control the spectrum of manufacturing processes that can be utilized and will highlight major design guidelines for each manufacturing process to be successful. A laboratory project is included to mimic the design principles.

Learning outcomes

1. Correlate the material type with the possible fabrication processes.
2. Describe the operations and tools for major manufacturing processes.
3. Highlight the process design parameters to eliminate defective products.
4. Examine the design drawing of a component, gather related information, and describe a feasible sequence of manufacturing processes for production of the component
