| DESCRIPTION | Objectives Engineering products and systems, whether mechanical or electrical based are the result of a purposeful transformation of raw material matter into a finished good. For such a product development process to be carried out in an effective and efficient way, engineers need to be knowledgeable with materials science and with manufacturing technologies and methodologies. The aim of this module is to introduce engineering students to manufacturing and materials engineering. Syllabus - Integrated Product Development (Relationship between Manufacturing and Materials Engineering); Types of Manufacturing Strategies. - Overview of Product Development Methodologies- Design Methods; Manufacturing Methods; Quality Management. - Overview of Product Development Technologies- CAD, CAM, Conventional & Non-conventional Fabrication technologies; Robotics; Handling Systems; Inspection Systems. - Types of Materials:- Metals, Polymers, Ceramics andComposites. Typical applications. - Atomic structure, primary & secondary bonds. - Effect of structure on the properties of materials. Reference Texts - Shackelford James F., Introduction to Materials Science for Engineers, Prentice Hall. - Groover Mickell P., Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing. ISBN 0-13-312182-8 |
