The teaching is based on "learning by doing". There
will be a course of lectures relating to materials, processes and
design for manufacture. Project assignments including case
studies.
The overall course objective is to give the students a basic
understanding of the fundamental concepts of design for
manufacturing, including prevention of product failure and
reduction of product cost. This will enable the students to apply
the principles of improving manufacturing efficiency through
innovative design.
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
• assess the influence of design on material selection and vice
versa
• assess the influence of design for manufacture selection and vice
versa
• determine material and material processing compatibility for
manufacturing and cost effective component design
• optimise component design and assembly towards efficient assembly
process and lower assembly cost
• optimise component design towards efficient manufacturing process
and reduce product cost
• optimise component design towards protecting the environment
• determine usability of advanced manufacturing technology in
industry
• apply the necessary tools and technique to detect and prevent
product failure during design process

Bemærkninger:
Oral examination based on a specified design for manufacture
project. The final evaluation of each student will be based on an
oral examination of a final design project assignment. Entry to the
examination is subject to the submission of four individual project
assignments set during the semester.
This course is primarily for students enrolled in the program
“Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation”, offered by the
Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The CES EduPack software is also used in other modules and
programmes within the department.
