Course Description

Materials only become useful when they are made into products. This course focuses on an introduction to mechanical manufacturing methods by which materials are economically processed into different shapes. The overall goal is to develop an understanding of how process design involves considering the shape (and functionality) of a product as well as the materials it is to be made from.

Topics

  • Materials in manufacturing
  • Casting
  • Ceramic & polymer processing
  • Forming
  • Machining
  • Joining
