This course introduces the
engineer to advanced process and fabrication
techniques for metallic, composite and polymeric
materials. Traditional and non-traditional
manufacturing and machining methods are
evaluated. Students spend six weeks in the shop
completing tasks in casting, deformation
processing, machining and finishing, rapid
prototyping, EDM, composite fabrication and
joining techniques. Also, post processing and
thermal treatments to improve the material
system are discussed. The course directs the
students towards a deeper understanding of the
role materials selection plays in the
manufacturing process and for the importance of
manufacturing in relationship to design.
