This course is an introduction to the process that takes a product from design to product realization by applying the five categories of manufacturing processes; Additive, Subtractive, Forming, Joining, and Surface Finishing. The course also covers manufacturing support processes required to complete a finished manufactured product. Lab activities include safely applying the advanced manufacturing processes to fabricate and assemble a finished unit to design specifications. This course is intended for individuals interested in learning about career pathways related to manufacturing and product development. Protective Equipment (PPE), e.g., safety goggles, hearing protection, and close-toed shoes are required for the laboratory. Other materials may be required by the instructor.
