Unit Description

The unit introduces students to the basic principles of conventional and advanced manufacturing techniques. The unit will examine the challenges of the manufacturing processes by the development of new or improved materials and technologies, approaches to productivity, product design and quality, sustainability, energy consumption and process capability requests.

Topics include elementary analysis of conventional and advanced manufacturing (mass conserving and mass reducing processes) as well as considerations of manufacturing in today's competitive environment (Automation possibilities, Computer-aided Manufacturing and Computer-integrated Manufacturing Systems).

Unit Learning Outcomes

1.	Assess the relationship between material, process and parameters and critically decide changes necessary to achieve desired product quality.
2.	Report technical evaluations and findings to expert and non-expert stakeholders effectively.
3.	Apply mathematical calculations to decide the manufacturing parameters required.
4.	Identify and apply professional standards to ensure reliable, ethical, and sustainable practice.
