SYLLABUS
Suggested Textbook:
Kalpakjian, S., Schmid, R., Manufacturing Engineering and Technology
Groover, M., Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing
Catalog Description:
Principal manufacturing processes including casting, heat treatment, metal cutting, grinding and metal
forming operations including rolling, forging, extrusion, and powder metallurgy. Review of nontraditional
manufacturing processes including mechanical, electrical, thermal and chemical processes. Introduction to
computer-aided manufacturing. CNC programming, robots and flexible manufacturing systems.
Goals of the Course:
1. To introduce the current traditional and nontraditional manufacturing processes and future trends in this field.
2. To provide students with information of the role manufacturing processes play in the basic principles underlying
the design, analysis and synthesis of production systems.
3. To introduce the ethical issues related to manufacturing.
4. To reinforce the need for teamwork and ability to finish the design on time using project management tools.
Topics to be Covered:
Topic 1. Introduction
Topic 2. Steel Production
Topic 3. Casting
Topic 4. Rolling
Topic 5. Forging
Topic 6. Extrusion
Topic 7. Machining (Traditional)
Topic 8. Machining (CNC)
Topic 9. Assembly
Topic 10. Wood Working
Topic 11. Polymers and Injection Molding
Topic 12. Non Traditional Manufacturing Processes
Additional Information:
1. IEGR 363 course is usually offered as an integrated lab and lecture course with several projects to be
manufactured and tested alongside the theoretical knowledge gained during lectures.
Due to the imposed conditions by the pandemic, we are moving most of the hands-on is changed to watching online videos
to help the learning of subjects. The hope is that by watching those videos you will learn and understand how
manufacturing processes work and are applied in real world.
2. We will still have projects/assignments that you need to perform at home. But, they are designed so you can do them
with materials that are readily available to most of you or can be obtained with few dollars from most stores.
3. An important and integrated part of this is the lab that Mr. Mahmud is teaching in two separate sections. Mr. Mahmud submits
two sets of grades: one for the lab course to the university in the form of A through F grades and one to me in the form a
number from 0-100. That number will be used as part of your assessment in this course. Its weight in calculationg the final
grade for this class is currently set as 40% but it may slightly change depending on the class conditions for both lecture and lab.
If there is any change it will be in the direction of helping the students.
4. An important assessment vector for this class is your Active Participation. It is exhibited in four ways:
a). your presence in the class no later than 5 minutes after start time of the class,
b). your volunteering to answer questions asked,
c). your immediate response when your name is called, and
d). presentations.
5. Four sets of communication resources about the class are available to the class members: IEGR363 group, Google meet online class
and office hours sessions, Canvas and the most important one, the course web site.
6. If you miss a class, first check with your frinds who attended that class to see what was covered. Some sessions are recorded and
part of the lectures that you might need to review will be available in a shared folder.
