-
3.00 Credits
The topics for this course include computer numerical control (CNC), industrial robotics, material handling, group technology, flexible manufacturing systems, automated inspection, process control, and computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Other topics such as design for manufacturability and design for automated manufacturing are discussed. The world wide Web (WWW) and Internet resources are utilized in project assignments in this class.

3.00 Credits
A study of the physical effects of heat transfer phenomena including conduction, convection, and radiation. Laboratory experiences will provide opportunties to test heat transfer devices for performance. Methodologies of solving of practical problems and computer simulation of problems by finite elements will be emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
The course initially develops a foundation in analyzing elementary single and two degree of freedom systems subjected to natural and various types of forced motion. Then using this foundation, multi-degree of freedom systems are investigated for both natural and forced motion. Modeling, damping, resonance, force transmissibility and modal analysis are discussed. Emphasis is placed on practical vibrations problems in several engineering fields. Design problems provide the opportunity to apply principles taught in the classroom to realistic problems encountered by practicing engineers. In class demonstrations supplement the theory development.

3.00 Credits
Simulation is the process of building a model of a system or decision problem, and experimenting with the model to obtain insight and support decision making. This course introduces students to computer based simulation and modeling with applications to all areas of business, engineering, and industry where management, strategic and operational decision making can be enhanced through the modeling and analysis of complex systems. Applications are designed to depict industrial system modeling including manufacturing processes and production systems, inventory analysis and management, and other aids to decision making, with a particular emphasis on understanding the impact of resource bottlenecks and time delays on system behavior. Hands-on modeling skills are developed using such as "Promodel" and/or "Arena" simulation software packages. Through project works, students are exposed to essential concepts, methods, and applications of simulation in manufacturing and industrial business settings.

3.00 Credits
Six-Sigma is a quality improvement methodology structured to reduce product or service failure rates to a negligible level (roughly 3.4 failures per million opportunities). The Six-Sigma process encompasses all aspects of a business, including management, service delivery, design, production and customer satisfaction. This course explores the principles and practices of Six-Sigma in manufacturing oriented industries. Students will be introduced to the key concepts of Six-Sigma to better prepare them to support a company's continuous improvement efforts. Students will also learn how to select, justify, and apply the principles, tools, and techniques to improve manufacturing and/or business performance. Topics covered include quality function deployment; teams and teamwork; DMAIC problem-solving; measures and metrics; project management; statistical methods; control charts; design of experiments; reliability; failure modes and effects analysis; and lean manufacturing. A realistic capstone industry project wil be develped and defended by students, individually or in teams, to support understanding and deployment of the Six-Sigma strategies on the factory floor and beyond.

3.00 Credits
Plant Design is a course that studies the layout and design or redesign of manufacturing facilities to develop part or process production in the most cost effective manner. Current increased productivity trends such as Lean Manufacturing, Agile Manufacturing, Just in Time will be studied. Work flow and process analysis will be included and plant layout and design software will be utilized for simulated projects.
-
3.00 Credits
This course covers such topics as recognizing and using the proper probability distribution to model product times to failure, the analysis of life data to determine the reliability characteristics and to achieve reliability improvement of a product or a process. Also covered are concepts and methods for the design, testing, and estimation of component and system reliabilities, reliability design and implementation, and design procedures that are necessary to insure a reliable product or process.
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced concepts in designing machine elements for static and dynamic applications. Special techniques of design will utilize finite element and parametric computer software. Particular emphasis is placed on designing hydrodynamic bearings, welded machine frames for steady and fatigue loads, stepped shafts for fatigue design failure theories. Flywheels with brake and clutch systems.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the fundamental concepts underlying the study of velocity, acceleration, and force analysis of machines; linkages, cams, gears, and flywheels; balancing of rotating and reciprocating machine elements; introduction to synthesis; computer simulation of mechanical systems.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides an understanding of the fundamentals concepts in automation and manufacturing and expands the concepts of Lean Manufacturing introduced in previous courses. It is an integrated approach to efficient manufacturing with emphasis on synchronized production, takt time, quick changeover, cell design, visual factory, value stream-mapping, one-piece flow, and lean metrics. Topics covered include the elimination of waste or non added value activities or processes, automation strategies, production technology and operations, design and analysis of different types of manufacturing and automated systems such as automated flow lines, manual and automated assembly systems, group technology and cellular manufacturing, flexible manufacturing systems, transfer lines and semi-automated manufacturing systems, material handling and storage. Other topics including control issues in manufacturing systems such as facility scheduling, batch sizing, assembly line balancing and bottleneck management, inspection principles and technology, economic analysis in production, supply chain management, material requirement planning (MRP), Just-In-Time (JIT) delivery are also revisted.
