7. EGR 520 Manufacturing Processes Syllabus
Academic Unit: Padnos School of Engineering
Semester: Summer 2004
Class Times: TBD
Description: The objective for this course is to expose the student to as many aspects of
manufacturing as possible in the time available. This will include
properties of materials as well as the processes that convert these materials
into specific products. Particular attention will be given to machining
processes first so that the student may have a perspective for
understanding. This will then be followed with examination of other
manufacturing areas.
Throughout the course frequent assignments and/or quizzes will be used
for each section of material.
