ENGN6212 Manufacturing Technologies

Offered By	Research School of Engineering
Academic Career	Graduate Coursework
Course Subject	Engineering
Offered in	First Semester, 2012 and First Semester, 2013
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.
Learning Outcomes	At the end of this course students should be able to: Articulate clearly a range of different manufacturing processes. Determine appropriate parameters for different manufacturing process. Justify the most appropriate manufacturing process and material for a given product. Apply design for manufacture principles. Perform a range of different manufacturing processes. Clearly present designs for manufacture in the form of an Engineering Report.
Indicative Assessment	Reports (15%); Group Design Exercise (50%); Final Exam (35%)
Workload	Thirty five one-hour lectures, eleven three-hour workshops, one metrology lab, one turning lab and one sheet forming lab
Assumed Knowledge and Required Skills	Assumed knowledge of engineering design
Prescribed Texts	Kalpakjian, Serope & Schmid, Steven R.Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, SI 5th Edition Prentice Hall
