AT73.02 : Advanced Manufacturing Process  3(3-0)
 
Course objectives:

During a manufacturing process, we add, subtract, or form materials in order to give a desired shape/property to the workpiece. The quality of the workpiece is influenced by several factors, including material properties, process parameters, tool geometry, and environmental factors. This course instructs techniques for modeling and analyzing the mechanics of both conventional and unconventional manufacturing processes.
 
Learning Outcomes:
