MEN 230 Solid Mechanics or equivalent (MEN 231 strongly recommended)

The course objectives are to: (1) introduce engineering materials used in industry from the perspectives of composition, microstructures, properties, and heat treatment; (2) provide an extensive knowledge of various traditional and non-traditional manufacturing processes; (3) develop basic physical and mathematical descriptions for selected processes; and (4) learn to apply these concepts to process selection and planning. Upon completion of the course, the students will have gained the fundamental understanding of process-structure-property relationships of a variety of engineering materials. From the manufacturing standpoint, the students will learn the advantages and limitations of various processes in terms of quality, cost, and productivity. The lecture material will be supplemented with laboratory demonstrations and hands-on experiences for selected processes.
