[edit] Course Description
Concepts of product and process design for automated manufacturing are considered. Topics include product design for automated manufacturing, inspection and assembly, using automation, industrial robots, knowledge-based systems and concepts of flexible product manufacture. Preq: ME 301, 306, and 312 (or concurrent enrollment), or consent of instructor. The primary objectives of this course are to develop in the student:
- To show students the relationships between part design and its manufacturability.
- To teach students methods of DMF and DFA.
- To provide students team instruction through project experiences.
[edit] Assignments
This course is structured to build upon the student's experiences, encourage the student to discover new material independently, and foster a habit of self-critique. To do this, assignments are designed to help the student understand the material, not to create busy work.
- Assignments should be professional quality (clear, concise, correct, and conscientious).
- Design Rules will be collected once a week and returned to the students the following lecture.
- The Design Rules should be submitted with a standard cover sheet.
- Assignments are due at the BEGINNING of class. Late assignments will be given credit after a 10% reduction for each day late, however late work may be submitted for corrections.
- Ethical behavior and professional standards are expected in this class. All work submitted is to be that of the individual
student unless cooperative effort is authorized in specific instances. The College of Engineering and Sciences Honor Code will be observed. Refer to your student handbook regarding University policies on academic dishonesty.
[edit] Computer Usage
Word processing, spreadsheet, Internet, and mathematical computation utilities will be used by the students throughout the course.
