COURSE NAME/CODE: Manufacturing Processes Lab / MEM564

COURSE OUTCOMES

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:

CO1 Identify relevant machineries, processes, instruments and tools used in

manufacturing industry. [PO1, LO1, SS1]{C4}.
CO2 Classify a practical experiment related to the manufacturing processes and
technology using specific tools and machineries. [PO4, LO2, SS1]{C4}.
CO3 Practice in a group to perform each laboratory work correctly through established
procedures [PO10, LO9, SS3] {A5}
CO4 Prepare technical reports in a professional manner. [PO9, LO4, SS2]{A4}.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course provides students with hands-on experience on the operation, evaluation and
overcoming problems related to basic manufacturing practices such as in metal casting,
welding and thermal cutting, metal cutting, non-traditional machining and the use of
metrological instruments in this field. Demonstration and practical on certain
manufacturing practices will be carried out.
