Unit Code: MEB602

Unit Name: Manufacturing Technology

Description: The course is designed to provide a basic understanding of traditional methods of materials processing used in product manufacturing. Through lectures, demonstrations, and firsthand laboratory exposure, the student is given the theory and applications of each process. The following are covered: casting, extruding, forging, molding, forming, heat treating, joining, and an introduction to machining methods, both conventional and numerically controlled.

Learning Target Outcomes: On successful completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. Examine a broad spectrum of commonly used machinery, analyze and calculate parameters pertaining to machine requirements for manufacturing (WA1) 2. Generate a contrast requirements, materials and process to produce optimum solution (WA2) 3. Determine through examination the properties and structures of steels to illustrate appropriate economic manufacturing methods (WA4) 4. Provide a balance manufacturing methods to economic requirements 5. Apply mechanical principles to solve manufacturing problems (WA3) 6. Analyze uncertainty in practical situations (WA3) 7. Examine and explain the manufacturing methods used for selected FMCG (WA 4)
