Summer
Term 2001
2001 catalog data: Credit ( 2-4-4) Two lecture hours and two two-hour labs
Prerequisites: All required MFGG courses (prior to last
term)
Students will work
in teams on industrially supplied projects. Each team will interact with the
client to determine the scope of the work and the deliverables. Student will
use the skills and knowledge’s gained in previous academic courses to affect an
appropriate technological, economic and sociological solution to the project.
Written and oral progress reports will be required thought out the course as
well as in the final solution presentation.
Textbook(s): TBD
References: Processes, materials, CIM, robotics
books and current journal papers
Coordinator(s): Lucy King, Professor of Manufacturing Engineering
Course learning objectives:
Students who successfully complete this
course will be able to:
1.
Assimilate topics in three major
areas: materials, processing methods and
computer controlled manufacturing.
(Program Outcomes: A, E, K, L,
MFGG PEOs: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7)
2.
Use design skills in proposing the
physical product to satisfy the functional requirements specified by
customers. (Program Outcomes: A, C, E, N; MFGG PEOs: 1, 2, 3, 7)
3.
Select and review part materials and
design features to provide alternate designs.
(Program Outcomes: C, E, O; MFGG
PEOs: 1, 2, 3, 7)
4.
Research into latest technology to
model and measure a proposed physical system for producing a product. (Program Outcomes: A, C, I, J, K, M; MFGG PEOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7)
5.
Use project management skills and
ethical engineering practice to carry out the life cycle of product development
within the duration of a term. (Program
Outcomes: D, F, O; MFGG PEOs: 2, 3, 4,
5, 7)
6.
Form inter-disciplinary teams to
integrate concurrent/lean manufacturing and engineering with CIM. (Program Outcomes: D, H, K; MFGG PEOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
7.
Combine communication, business and
interpersonal skills to manage a project.
(Program Outcomes: D, F; MFGG
PEOs: 3, 4, 5, 7)
8.
Identify areas for improvement in the
physical system model and measures.
(Program Outcomes: A, B, E, M;
MFGG PEOs: 1, 3, 5, 7)
9.
Perform quality checks on the
processes, parts and final product.
(Program Outcomes: A, B; MFGG
PEOs: 1, 3, 7)
10.
Use statistical analysis to monitor the
quality data collected. (Program
Outcomes: A, B; MFGG PEOs: 1, 3, 7)
11.
Track resulting analysis to provide
improvements to the system of parts / processes. (Program Outcomes: C, D, E, P; MFGG PEOs: 1, 2, 3, 5, 7)
