Sustainable and Concurrent Design
DSGN74070

Description: The efficient manufacture and assembly of components to form entire products is of high importance, particularly in large volume production. Assembly operation selection is determined by a number of factors, especially how effectively each component is designed for ease of assembly. As the life of a product is finite, recyclable materials are more and more in demand. Sustainability of resources and attention to environment impact are critical design criteria in the modern industry. Engineers have responsibilities for human health, environment, and the ethical issues associated with the risks of engineering activities in society. An understanding of human physiology and psychology as it relates to machine control and manufacturing processes is also covered in this course complemented by engineering codes and regulations that cover safety. Relevant open ended case studies are used to help students master these topics.
