Prerequisites: ENGME305, 306 and 360. - Good product design requires an engineer to simultaneously consider the function of the product, the materials from which it is made, and how it how it will be manufactured. This course will train students, using both theory and hands-on experience, how materials selection and manufacturing processes affect design decisions, and vice versa. The students will learn how the combination of Function, Form, Material and Manufacturing all impact Cost, Quality, and Schedule. In addition to an advanced introduction to major manufacturing methods, the course will review a number of related topics critical to the design process including: material selection, tolerancing (GD&T), metrology, Design for Manufacturing, Design for Assembly, part and production costing, assembly and automation, and designing an assembly production line. The learnings will be reinforced through multiple hands-on projects in EPIC and will culminate with a multi-week capstone project incorporating the above.
