Prerequisite Manufacturing Engineering I
Learning Outcome  Understand basic traditional machining processes; describe their principles
and tool geometry; evaluate tools wear/life, enumerate cutting force and
power on traditional machine tools and measures to achieve optimization.
 Understand advanced ( i.e. subtractive and additive) manufacturing methods
 Principles of assembly and joining process in assembly;
 Principles and operation of arc, gas, resistance, and other welding and joining
processes.
