Manufacturing Engineering Design

1 Unit · Undergraduate

A hands-on, team-based survey of lean manufacturing concepts such as DFA (design for assembly), DFM (design for manufacturing), automation, quality control, process planning, tooling design, concurrent engineering, and continuous improvement. Students are given the components of an existing product and are challenged to design the manufacturing specifications and process. Design strategy, manufacturing modeling and optimization, engineering documentation, quality control, manufacturing costing and product manufacturing productivity skills are put into practice in a final pilot run of the manufacturing process by each team.
