MET 322 Design for Manufacturing and Assembly 3.0 Credits

One of the final steps in creating a marketable product is the manufacturing of the components. Throughout the design process, engineers must fully understand a variety of processes in which parts can be produced and assembled. Selecting a manufacturing method and ensuring the parts are capable of production is a difficult but critical part of the product design process. This course will allow students to apply the theory of design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) to the overall design process. Topics include practical techniques for selection of materials and processes, design considerations for production, manual assembly and automated assembly, and Boothroyd and Dewhurst methods. Students review case studies and analyze production assemblies.
