Manufacturing Engineering Processes

Credits: 4

Description: This course will introduce traditional manufacturing processes including: casting, molding, forming, separating, conditioning, assembly, and finishing. Included in the course is a broad overview of the manufacturing industry, the various jobs within the industry, and common organizational structures. Contemporary manufacturing trends will be explored, as swell as looking at the diversity and changes that are occurring in manufacturing on a global scale. The learner will complete a capstone project that demonstrates knowledge of the major processes by comparing and contrasting the applicable processes and completing an economic cost benefit analysis rational to support their research. Prerequisite(s): None
