| Objective : | The overall course objective is to give the students a basic understanding of the fundamental concepts of design for manufacturing, including prevention of product failure and reduction of product cost. This will enable the students to apply the principles of improving manufacturing efficiency through innovative design. A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: • assess the influence of design for manufacture issues • determine material and material processing compatibility for manufacturing and cost effective component design • optimise component design and assembly towards efficient assembly process and lower assembly cost • optimise component design towards efficient manufacturing process and reduce product cost • optimise component design towards protecting the environment • determine usability of advanced manufacturing technology in industry • apply the necessary tools and technique to detect and prevent product failure during design process |

| Principal Content : | This course covers various issues in design for manufacturing which includes tools and techniques to prevent product failure, reduce product cost and improve manufacturing efficiency through innovative design. | ||
| Teaching method : | The teaching is based on "learning by doing". There will be introductory and summing up lectures. Project work in small groups including case studies. | ||
| Required prequisites : | - | ||
| Recommended prerequisites : | Engineering Materials. | ||
| Relations : | Projects 1-4, Engineering Materials, Industrial Design, and Product Design. | ||
| Type of examination : | Look under remarks | ||
| External examiner : | External | ||
| Marking : | 7 step scale | ||
| Remarks : | Oral examination based on a number of design projects. The final evaluation of each student will be based on an assessment of the presentation of design projects and the group report. This course is primarily for students enrolled in the program “Engineering Design & Industrial Innovation”, offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The CES EduPack software is also used in other modules and programmes within the department. |
