Introduction to Manufacturing and Tolerancing

Topics

• Enable a student to create and understand tolerances in engineering drawings; enhance critical thinking and design skills; emphasize communication skills, both written and oral; offer hands-on experience in manufacturing; develop abilities in identifying, formulating, and solving engineering problems; introduce students to the context of engineering practice.
• Upon completion of the course, students shall be able to fabricate basic parts in the machine shop; understand and communicate tolerance requirements in engineering drawings using industry standard GD&T use metrology tools to evaluate if physical parts are within specified tolerances; demonstrate familiarity with manufacturing processes; and design parts that can be fabricated realistically and economically using these processes.
