Prerequisite: MEC 311
The present course is intended to teach up-to-date/non-traditional manufacturing processes (electrical discharge
machining, water-jet, chemical machining) precision and high speed manufacturing (ultrasonic, plasma, laser,
rapid prototyping) and economics of manufacturing processes. The course deals with the fabrication processing of
non-metallic engineering materials such as ceramics, polymers, and composites. The course emphasizes process
capabilities and limitations, and guidelines for process selection. In addition it introduces the state of art
technology in micro and nano fabrication.
MEC 473 Manufacturing System Automation (3 = 2 + 1)
Prerequisite: MEC 311
The course is intended to teach the students the art and science of automation in manufacturing processes and
operations. The ability to reliably and economically produce parts with high accuracy and production rates is
aided greatly by the use of automation. The topics covered in the course include hardware components for
automation, numerical control, discrete control, automation of material transport system and storage system and
flexible manufacturing system.
MEC 474 Failure of Mechanical Components (3 = 2 + 1)
Prerequisite: MEC 221
This course is an introduction to the techniques of designing for life and material considerations involved in the
process. The course investigates how to analyze those components which do fail, and evaluate safe-life and
remaining life in a design through the study of real-life component design and current failures.
MEC 481 Quality Control (3 = 3 + 0)
Prerequisites: FES 202, MEC 311
This course introduces the students to the modern statistical methods for quality control and improvement. It
covers a variety of topics including quality improvement and productivity; quality costs, total quality
management; statistical process control; control of incoming material, control charts for attribute and variable
data, process capability. Process optimization and design of experiments; screening methods, fractional factorial
experiments, Taguchi methods, empirical regression models; acceptance sampling.
