MFGE/MENG 3333 Materials Processing Studio

Course Description

The course covers the study of traditional and modern processing techniques. The course will cover applications and use of different materials and their processing, metal-casting processes end equipment, forming and shaping processes and equipment, joining processes and equipment, molding, extrusion and fabrication of polymers, and composites processing and techniques. Laboratory includes problem solving sessions, experiments, and hands-on processing of materials.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

• Discuss the various types of metals, and the processing techniques and processing equipment used to manufacture goods from these materials.

• Identify, define, and categorize equipment, tooling, and operations used in the processing of engineering materials.

• Compare and contrast materials processing techniques and delineate the limitations of each as they relate to manufacturing.

• Describe the effects of processing on the properties of materials.

• Explain the influence of materials and processing parameters on manufacturing processes and operations.

• Conduct analysis of forces, pressures, friction, wear and other mechanical phenomenon necessary for the processing a variety of materials.

ABET Outcomes

This course serves to satisfy ABET Student Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, and 4: 

Student Learning Outcome 1 An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. 

Student Learning Outcome 2 An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors. 

Student Learning Outcome 3 An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 

Student Learning Outcome 4 An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

Student Learning Outcome 5 An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives. 

Student Learning Outcome 6 An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions. 

Student Learning Outcome 7 An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
