ME 155 - Manufacturing Processes and Material I/ Laboratory

Credit Hours: 3

An introductory course covering the fundamental of manufacturing methods, processes and equipment. Topics covered are metallurgy, heat treatment, material selection, sheet metal, casting, rolling, forging, metal joining, gauges and measurements. The laboratory enhances the student learning by hands-on experiments with gauges, measurement, hardness machine, universal tensile testing machine, casting, rolling, and spot welding. Some videos of manufacturing processes are utilized in this course.

Course Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

create valuable technical reports using charts and graphs, which would analyze the relationship between different factors and would come up with an explanation, justification and demonstration of the related theory;
analyze, evaluate, and discuss the application of different materials such as ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and alloys;
analyze, evaluate, and discuss the application of different manufacturing processes such as casting, rolling, forging, welding, and sheet metal work; and
analyze, evaluate, and apply different material tests such as hardness and universal tensile tests in order to justify and evaluate the capability of different materials.
