Course Syllabus for students Autumn 2020

After a successful course, the student shall;

- display knowledge of the most common cutting, shaping and joining metallic manufacturing processes used in the engineering industry
- display knowledge of manufacturing techniques
- demonstrate comprehension of theoretical concepts related to product development and manufacturing processes
- demonstrate comprehension of a scientific approach including critically scrutinizing, openly accounting, argumentative and referring to science.

- demonstrate the ability to critically review the content of scientific work, results and relevance from formulated goals and used methods
- demonstrate the ability to choose prototyping methods or manufacturing methods based on material selection and manufacturing technology.

- demonstrate the ability to assess relevant scientific aspects
- demonstrate the ability to compare the suitability of different manufacturing methods based on performance, production volume, power requirements, cost efficiency and sustainable development related to process selection for the manufacture of a component.

The course deals with manufacturing methods for product production and production of
engineering products as well as prototypes in small series and serial production.

The course contains the following:
- Overview of manufacturing methods within: Molded manufacturing (including casting, forging,
extrusion), Plastic processing, Cutting, Bonding, Powder metallurgy
- Surface treatment, surface roughness, abrasion and surface coating
- Basic interaction between manufacturing, material properties, product requirements and
cost
- Overview of the technical materials classification and properties
- Method and selection of materials based on properties and process capacity from a business perspective and a sustainability perspective
- Prototype manufacturing and Additive manufacturing
- Scientific papers in the field and critical review of such papers

Lectures as well as compulsory laboratory work, assignments and project assignment
