Course Level

Undergraduate

Course Title

Manufacturing and Design Communication

Course Description

An introduction to manufacturing process technologies and the ways in which dimensional requirements for manufactured objects are precisely communicated, especially through graphical means. Fundamentals of cutting, casting, molding, additive manufacturing, and joining processes are introduced. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), tolerance analysis for fabrication, concepts of process variability, and metrology techniques are introduced and practiced. 3-D visualization skills for engineering design are developed via sketching and presentation of 3-D geometries with 2-D engineering drawings. Computer-aided design software is used. Teamwork and effective communication are emphasized through lab activities and a design project.

Course Objectives

Improve 3-dimensional visualization skills; enable a student to create and understand engineering drawings. Introduce 2-dimensional computer-aided geometry modeling as a visualization, design, and analysis tool. Enable a student to create and understand tolerances in engineering drawings. Enhance critical thinking and design skills. Emphasize communication skills, both written and oral; develop teamwork skills. Offer an experience in hands-on engineering projects. Develop early abilities in identifying, formulating, and solving engineering problems. Introduce students to the societal context of engineering practice.
