Course Description:
This course will introduce basic manufacturing process technology and the
mechanical properties of metals and plastics. The course is a combined lecture and
laboratory teaching. The course will cover Dimensional and Geometry Tolerancing, Surface
Finishing, Manufacturing Product Quality Assurance; Metal casting; Metal Cutting Processes
and Machine Tools of Turning and Milling, CNC programming and machining;
Manufacturing Processes of Polymers and Reinforced Plastics, and Injection Molding. Three
hands-on laboratory sections are designed for this class, they are: machine shop practice and
lathe and milling machine operations, CNC programming and operation, and injection
molding process and simulation.
