EMAN - Engineering Manufacturing

EMAN 501  Principles of Manufacturing: 3 Credits (3 Lec)

(F) Masters of Manufacturing students only. This course provides the underlying fundamentals for a modern manufacturing operation. It introduces concepts and principles across a range of topics required in a modern facility, including materials and manufacturing processes, process design, automation systems, and quality and management processes.

View Course Outcomes:

  1. Identify the primary engineering science required to manufacture a diverse range of material forms.
  2. Describe the importance of personal effectiveness traits required to operate a successful manufacturing operation, such as personnel management, communication, and lifelong learning.
  3. Describe a set of manufacturing processes relevant to a diverse range of material forms.
  4. Demonstrate the ability to apply product design, product lifecycles, design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly strategies in a manufacturing environment.
  5. Identify the role of production systems within the production environment, including process development and documentation, ergonomics, and maintenance.
  6. Demonstrate the ability to implement automation systems across a range of processes.
  7. Describe the role of quality assurance and quality standards across the manufacturing facility.
  8. Identify a range of management strategies relevant to the production environment.

EMAN 515  Industrial Internet of Things: 3 Credits (2 Lec, 1 Lab)

PREREQUISITE: Graduate Standing (Sp) This course will introduce key enabling technologies that make manufacturing operations ‘smart’. It introduces some of the key concepts and fundamental knowledge necessary to implement ‘smart manufacturing’ within factory floors. This includes sensor technology, IoT architecture, and machine learning. Various sensors will be used to collect real-time manufacturing data, which will be streamed and stored via IoT architecture. Common machine learning algorithms will be implemented to realize various smart manufacturing applications

EMAN 525  Manufacturing Management Systems: 3 Credits (2 Lec, 1 Other)

(F) Consent of Instructor required. Manufacturing systems and operations is one of the four pillars of manufacturing engineering. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to manufacturing operational excellence. Lean manufacturing principles are covered so students can drive improvements and provide measurable results within manufacturing companies.

View Course Outcomes:

  1. tactically implement lean manufacturing tools to drive improvements and measure the results.
  2. deploy and apply lean principles, concepts, methods, and tools within a work cell, work group, and/or value stream.
  3. successfully pass the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) Lean Bronze Examination.
