Manufacturing methods

Course Description: This course covers the principles of manufacturing methods and their relationship to mechanical design and materials science and engineering. It addresses the basic classifications of engineering materials and major manufacturing methods such as processes performed on materials in a liquid state, including metal casting processes. The course includes solid-state forming processes while maintaining mass, such as forming metals, polymers, and powdered materials, in addition to material removal processes like machining and cutting. It also covers processes performed on sheet metals such as shearing, drawing, and bending. Additionally, the course covers joining and assembly processes, including welding, the use of bolts and riveting, adhesive bonding, and other assembly techniques. The course introduces modern and advanced manufacturing processes, their various engineering applications, and quality control and measurement methods.
