Description

Design process, simple structures, shafts, bearings couplings and brakes; mechanical power transmission. Production quality, process design and production management.

Design material: students are taught to use innovative and creative skills; to continue to develop engineering communication skills, such as report writing, engineering drawing, and oral presentation; and to apply the science of engineering to real world engineering problems. The course introduces some of the main engineering components and shows how to select them and use them in design.  
Production engineering: the course continues the thread of measurement and statistical process control from ENME221 by introducing the concepts of quality management, production planning and management, process and plant design, maintenance strategies.
