Course Objectives: | In this course, example-manufacturing issues in automotive engineering will be covered case by case. This involves manufacturing techniques and materials utilized in automotive industry, in addition to the problems encountered. As they constitute a very broad range, we will focus only on engine components. |
Course Content: | Criteria for selecting the best suiting materials and associated manufacturing processes taking into account the boundary conditions, design limitations, attribute targets and cost aspects, Problems related to materials and manufacturing processes, Quality control and testing. |
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Understanding the problems encountered in automotive engineering 2) To select the right manufacturing technique and material for desired properties 3) Describe the integration of manufacturing activities into a complete system. 4) To develop solutions to engine-part related problems. 5) Be aware of various engineering tools commonly used in automotive engineering in manufacturing and design. |
