Course Content

This course describes the various production techniques used by machines for metalic parts that are used in industry. Focus will be on the choice of the most suitable production technique taking into account a number of constraints.  The machining process will be elaborated in detail based on a number of exercises. The students will make a report and presentation in group about research on an operational or quality related topic.

Lecture: 

  • Machining techniques (CNC)
  • Estimated production cost and production time 
  • Other production techniques; cutting, deforming, welding 
  • New technologies: additive manufacturing, friction welding 
  • ISO 9000
  • TQM - Six Sigma
  • LEAN - MRP

Practical exercise sessions:
In the practical exercise sessions students solve problems under supervision. The selected problems are a direct application of knowledge and concepts gained in the lectures.

Indepdendent work: 
The students will make a paper in group (4-5) about several principles and techniques of Lean Manufacturing or Quality Management. The paper is presented by the students and the material of the papers is part of the course and examination.

Company visit: 
Students will visit a (machining) company and make a report of the visit.

  • BaLO 2 To possess application-oriented knowledge, understanding and skills about engineering sciences and engineering techniques.
  • BaLO 3 To solve practical engineering problems from an understanding of the basic theory and from an understanding of basic methods for the schematisation and modelling of processes or systems.
  • BaLO 4 Implementation-oriented and analytical problem-solving, design, development and creative innovation with a focus on the operational implications of the specific case.
  • BaLO 6 Based on acquired insight, to select the appropriate methods of research, design and solution and appropriately apply the results in a scientific and effective manner.
  • BaLO 7 To formulate a problem within a clearly defined framework and to independently plan and develop an engineering project, with attention to the boundary conditions affecting its technical realization.
  • BaLO 8 To demonstrate a research attitude: accuracy, critical reflection, scientific and technical curiosity, justification of choices.
  • BaLO 9 To demonstrate an engineering attitude: attention to planning, to technical, economic and societal factors as well as managerial implications, assessment of the risks and feasibility of the proposed approach or solution, being result-driven and achieving effective solutions, innovative thinking.
  • BaLO 10 To correctly handle the scientific and discipline-specific terminology in language relevant to the programme.
  • BaLO 11 To present and communicate the results of technical and scientific work, in writing, orally and visually.

Grading

The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
Other Exam determines 100% of the final mark.

Within the Other Exam category, the following assignments need to be completed:

  • Other Exam with a relative weight of 100 which comprises 100% of the final mark.

    Note: Exam time 1st session:
    Lecture and practical exercises: written exam: 70% (transferred to 2nd session if 10/20 or more)
    Report company visit: 5% (transferred to 2nd session if 10/20 or more)
    Paper and presentation: 25% (transferred to 2nd session if 10/20 or more)
    Exam time 2nd session:
    Lecture and practical exercises: written exam: 70%
    Report company visit: 5% (if absent replacement assignment short paper)
    Paper and presentation: 25% (if absent or no participation in group paper - individual paper & presentation Lean topic)


    In case of a quotation less than 10/20 for theory and practical exercise exam or for the Paper/Presentation + Visit Report, the lowest number will be the final grade for the entire course.

Additional info regarding evaluation

An illegitimate absence in the company visit or paper presentation session leads to an absent quotation for the related exam. The sanctions taken in the first exam session are transferred to the second exam session.

Allowed unsatisfactory mark
The supplementary Teaching and Examination Regulations of your faculty stipulate whether an allowed unsatisfactory mark for this programme unit is permitted.
