ME 200 - Manufacturing Process and Materials II

Credit Hours: 1

This course covers advanced subjects in manufacturing. Topics include a review of manufacturing processes such as glass, plastics, rubber, composites, ceramics, powder metallurgy, machining, non-traditional machining, surface processes, automation, PLC programming, and robotics. Other optional topics such as cost analysis with fixed/variable production volumes, labor assignment to stations, group technology, and production yield will also be covered as a project.

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

analyze the utilization of manufacturing processes of materials such as glass, plastics, rubber, composites, ceramics, powder metallurgy, machining, non-traditional machining, surface processes, automation, PLC programming, and robotics;
utilize cost analysis with fixed/variable production volumes;
utilize group technology;
obtain production line yield and unit product cost;
utilize programmable logic controllers (PLCs); and
utilize robotic manufacturing trainers and the related programming.
