Objectives

Discription:

This course is designed to provide an engineering processes overview in the product development, from the functional requirements to their manufacturing processes and their inspection. 

Knowledge:

- To identify the functional requirements expressed in the product drawings. 

 - Basic concepts about manufacturing technologies.

- Basic concepts about metrological inspection, and about equipment used in the industry;

- Basic concepts to understand the influence of economical and commercial information in the manufacturing systems.

Do:      

 - To interpret surface finish and dimensional and geometric tolerances in the technical drwings.

- To select manufacturing technologies to a given product.

- To select equipment to the quality control.

- To select manufacturing systems.

Soft skills:

Teamwork, technology and global development.
