Introduction IELM 215

• This is the only hard core engineering course for
  IELM
• Based on the feedback of the alumni, this course
  is very useful and important for many students
  who become engineers or managers
• Quality
• Design Production for toys or electronics
  industries

Issues of IELM 215

• As one can see, the text book is over 1000 pages
  long and it covers a lot of materials
• It is intended for a one year course
• It is intended for more hard cored engineers
• The original intention of the course is for
  manufacturing processes or on the process of how
  to makes things the focus is a bit narrow to
  suit most of your career

Course organization of IELM 215

• Therefore the course has been reorganized to fit
  your needs
• While we are still keeping all the hard cored
  manufacturing processes material, we have
  broadened the perspective of the course
• This course is based on the perspective between a
  manager and manufacturing engineer

5
Course organization of IELM 215 cont.

• There is a difference in perspective between a
  production worker/operator and a manager/engineer
• Operators are more concerned with how to operate
  and use the machines and process
• Manager are more concerned of how to improve
  cost, quality and time to market

6
Course organization of IELM 215 cont.

• To know how to improve cost, quality and time to
  market, we will ask a very set of questions
• Is this the best way to manufacturing this
  product?
• To answer it, we need to understand is it a best
  design, best material and best process

7
Course organization of IELM 215 cont.

• We need the comparative pro and con of each
  processes, each type of material etc.
• Also we need to know how to measure the finish
  products to ensure indeed they are good quality
• Therefore in this course we will
• 1. Look at how design, material and process
  affect cost etc.
• 2. Then we will look at mechanical manufacturing
  process

• Also we need to know how to measure the finish
  products to ensure indeed they are good quality
• Therefore in this course we will
• 1. Look at how design, material and process
  affect cost etc.
• 2. Then we will look at mechanical manufacturing
  process start from low cost near neat shape and
  lowest cost material then work ourselves upward

Course organization of IELM 215 cont.

• 3. Then will teach coating/ electronics
  manufacturing
• 4. Finally we will teach metrology, analysis and
  instrumentation
• 5. In addition, in our lab, we will teach
• Reverse Engineering
• CAM
• Low cost molding technique
