Page 1 > of 3 Purpose Your term paper will be a case study of a product manufacturing process. As you identify appropriate product(s) requiring complex materials sourcing, manufacturing, and quality control steps, you will be required to provide in-depth description and analyses of all steps and the overall process. Your understanding of the significance and the values of manufacturing stages should be clearly demonstrated. Alternative technical solutions and practices can be included, if applicable. Your ability to structure and express your professional knowledge in writing should be demonstrated. Program and Course Outcomes (Mix of Knowledge and skills) This course covers the following outcomes: Program Outcome: Combine concepts in science and engineering with manufacturing operations to analyze manufacturing issues in multiple contexts and recommend solutions. Course Outcomes: Understand the basic components of manufacturing process Define functions of planning, operations, materials supply, quality control, and process integration Explain environmental compliance Demonstrate strong knowledge of Materials properties and product attributes, related to engineering materials such as Metals, Ceramics, Polymers, and composite materials. Understand fundamental manufacturing methods based on solidification particulate processing, metal forming, and materials removal. Define, explain and plan the use of methods for product property enhancing such as Heat treatment and Surface processing Understand modern manufacturing methods such as micro-machining, nano-fabrication, rapid prototyping, additive manufacturing Understand Automation technologies and Integrated manufacturing systems Explain the Manufacturing Support Systems including Process control, Quality control and Inspection . . . . Page of 3 . . . Task/Description The product manufacturing process description will be based on the description of a particular product. The paper should include the following Product identification: Select a product that has some level of complexity in how it is manufactured. This will be submitted to your instructor for approval Product description: Describe the product, including its industry, design, features, and technical parameters General manufacturing process description: Discuss the process used in manufacturing the product. Manufacturing steps overall description and technology bases: Describe the technology involved QC methodology and resources: Describe the quality control processes used and challenges Final Inspection, packaging, logistics: Describe the process after manufacturing, and consider challenges in some of the packaging and shipping For all aspects of the paper, justify your descriptions. Include why you think the product is manufactured a certain way as opposed to other methods. Alternative technical solutions and practices can be included, if applicable, but is not required. Format/Submission Details he course term paper should be presented in a 4-6 pages document excluding any images, graphs, technical drawings and other supporting materials. Any such materials will be in addition to the written descriptions, References should be included, as needed using appropriate formats. Video links can be used as needed Final reports should be uploaded using the Blackboard link provided by your instructor before the assigned deadline Milestones You will be working on this paper throughout the course. You will submit your product selection to the Instructor for approval early in the course. In addition, you will have opportunities to submit an outline and draft(s) to obtain feedback throughout the course. The final term paper should include changes based on feedback received from your instructor. Page 1 > of 3 Purpose Your term paper will be a case study of a product manufacturing process.
