Course description and aims

This course is intended to teach types and characteristics of manufacturing methods to undergraduate students with the aim of understanding fundamentals of manufacturing processes. First, an overview of the basic various manufacturing methods used in the production of industrial products, including mechanical components, electric and electronic parts, will be taught, followed by the introduction of manufacturing process of the products. In particular, manufacturing methods of the components are focused, and students are allowed to understand fundamental characteristics and application of manufacturing processes, based on gaining the knowledge on the principle of manufacturing method in connection with the characteristics of materials. These knowledge are essential to perform functional and structural design of the products. Furthermore, students are allowed to learn how to select appropriate manufacturing method in accordance with the product.
1. Deformation processes (casting, plastic deformation processes, etc.)
2. Material-removal processes (cutting, grinding, etc.)
3. Joining processes (welding etc.)
4. Materials (microstructure, mechanical properties, etc.)

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand the fundamentals of manufacturing process, and advantages and drawbacks of each process as follows.
casting, forming of plastics, welding and joining processes, rolling, extrusion, drawing, sheet-metal forming processes, forging, cutting, metal die manufacturing and CAE, grinding, polishing, electrical processes, laser-beam machining, surface treatment, coating, additive manufacturing, micromachining
2. Gain the knowledge on the relationship between materials' microstructure/properties and processings.
3. Select appropriate materials processing method applied for individual industrial component.

Keywords

Manufacturing engineering, monotsukuri, materials processing, selection of materials processing method

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

1) Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
2) Before coming to class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be covered. Required learning should be completed outside of the classroom for preparation and review purposes.
3) Students must familiarize themselves with topics described in the required learning section before coming to class.
