IMSE 382: Manufacturing Processes

Course Description

This course introduces the students to the fundamentals and principles of manufacturing processes for engineering materials. It seeks to transfer an understanding of the application of principles of engineering materials and their influence on manufacturing processes. Topics covered include structure and manufacturing properties of metals, casting, heat treatments, bulk deformation processes, sheet metal working processes, processing of polymers and composites, surfaces and coating, powder metallurgy, machining and joining. Case studies of design for manufacturing and measurement of product quality; economical aspects and cost considerations in manufacturing systems will be studied. Three lecture hours and three laboratory hours.
