Introduction This course will introduce the Mechanical and
Aerospace engineering students to Manufacturing Processes and prepare them for
an entry-level career in any industrial set up. Students learn basics of
Casting, Joining, Forming and Metal Removal processes with special emphasis
on Mechanical Engineering issues such as design to manufacturing and economy
of the process. Using lectures, video demonstrations and class assignments
students are expected to learn science and engineering involved in the
manufacturing as well. Students are taught to develop and implement these
skills during the course of this semester. In addition, the problems relevant
to current Computer Integrated Manufacturing will be introduced. This course
will also prepare students for more advanced senior and graduate level course
in Manufacturing Automation offered in the College of engineering at UB. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
