Manufacturing TechnologyLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

Knowledge of manufacturing methods is the basis for making production engineering solutions and choices in a company engaged in production.

You will learn to master the basics of the most common manufacturing methods in machine shops and the machines, equipment and tools used in them. You will learn to understand how and by what methods the finished products are attained.

The development of your skills begins with an understanding of the basic concepts of manufacturing technology. Further progress is made in knowing, comparing and applying the details of manufacturing methods.

After completing the course, you will be able to explain the operating principles of the most common manufacturing methods and construct technically and economically suitable manufacturing chains taking into account the principles of sustainable development.

Knowledge and understanding:
You have knowledge and understanding of the machines, equipment, tools, engineering technologies and processes applicable to the workshop and of their limitations.

Engineering practice:
You have the ability to develop and design production processes and systems, which may include health, safety, environmental, technical and economic opportunities or constraints.

Content

Casting methods, traditional machining, sheet metal works and stamping technology, welding processes, surface treatment methods and additive manufacturing.

Qualifications

No special requirements. Motivation is the most important factor leading to learning. Basic technical skills contribute to the study of the course, but are not necessary.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The overall assessment consists of 50% of the exam and 50% of the learning assignments and laboratory work.
To receive a numerical grade, you must take a supervised exam.
In face-to- face learning, the test is mandatory. The examinations are held three times in accordance with the degree rule.

Adequate (1): You can identify the majority of the most common manufacturing methods in machine shops, but you have significant gaps in their identification and selection tasks.

Satisfactory (2): You are generally familiar with the most common manufacturing methods in machine shops, but you have gaps in their identification and selection tasks.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good (3): You master the essential knowledge and skills covered by the course:
