Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThis is an introductory course in manufacturing and manufacturing processes. This course exposes students to manufacturing of materials, mechanical properties, and processes involved in the industrial sector. Emphasis is given to processes which are more common in the industry, such as reverse engineering; rapid prototyping; plastics and composites; metal forming and generating tool paths; and casting. In addition to verbal understanding of the issues, mathematical models describing the processes of manufacturing are covered briefly in order for students to understand the relations between the parameters involved in the processes. In addition to theoretical knowledge, students are expected to gain practical experience by manufacturing sample parts in the lab. (GR)
