Manufacturing Processes - INDE 3432

Description: This course introduces the fundamentals and principles of manufacturing processes for engineering materials; casting processes, bulk metal deformation processes, sheet metal fabrication, joining processes, and overview of machining processes. Numerical control applications to manufacturing processes are also discussed. It includes topics such as design for manufacturing and measurement of product quality.

Text Book: Manufacturing: Processes and Materials, by G. Schrader and A. Elshennawy, 4^th edition, SME Publications, 2000.

Goal: To introduce a number of manufacturing processes used in industry and the of design on manufacturing based on material, cost and quality.
