METC 143 - Materials and Processes

1. Demonstrate knowledge related to production processes including specific manufacturing systems design concepts and the general importance of manufacturing to a society.
2. Appreciate a broad range of material testing methods, including the evaluation of physical and mechanical properties, and how these methods may be used to support production processes and engineering design.
3. Use common engineering data, such as hardness and stress-strain measurements, to determine properties of materials including the ability to reasonably estimate selected unmeasured properties by appropriate methods.
4. Conduct objective, repeatable laboratory material property tests using standard engineering methods and instrumentation such as metal alloy composition evaluation, tensile testing, brittle and ductile failure comparisons, and impact tests.
5. Present the results of technical lab experiments in a manner consistent with the engineering profession including the presentation of data and the use of figures, graphics, and statistics to support conclusions and recommendations.
6. Communicate with colleagues in industry using common terms associated with material casting, forming, removal, treating, joining, finishing, and addition processes.
7. Describe common examples of a selected range of manufacturing processes such as material casting, forming, removal, treating, joining, finishing, and addition including the ability to determine, and descriptively compare and contrast process steps, advantages, and disadvantages.
8. Demonstrate an appropriate fundamental method of material selection for a given manufactured part design and selected set of process information.
