ENGN6212 Manufacturing Technologies

Offered By School of Engineering
Academic Career Graduate Coursework
Course Subject Engineering
Offered in First Semester, 2010 and First Semester, 2011
Unit Value 6 units
Course Description This subject introduces the elements of a number of basic manufacturing processes and associated materials behaviour required in the design of mechanical devices. The configuration of machine tools is discussed in the context of orthogonal cutting and the basics of materials deformation processes, including, casting, forging, sheet-metal forming and polymer processing, are developed. Graphical representation techniques include sectioning, conventional representations, dimensioning, tolerancing, and further develops computer-aided design skills (CAD). Also included are 24 hours of practical workshop experience with assorted hand and machine tools to produce a manufactured article.
