ELE5DES - DESIGN FOR MASS PRODUCTION
CREDIT POINTS - 15.0
DESCRIPTION:
This unit creates awareness in engineers of industry needs around issues in mass production, professional communication and technical report writing. The unit addresses electronic manufacturing processes, including product development, the product development cycle, commercialisation, innovation, marketing, PCB manufacture and assembly, specifications, testing, surface mount technology, automation, just in time, total quality management, management of processes, PCB design and CAD tools and the value added manufacturing culture. The unit also covers professional communication, technical research skills and self directed learning. It introduces and explains the skills of research, report writing and presentation and then applies those skills to investigating an important area of technical application. Self directed learning skills for ongoing professional development are fostered. Students are required to write a research report on manufacturing processes and give a presentation.
