ISE 1207 Introduction to Manufacturing
In this course students will learn basic concepts of manufacturing, technical drawings, measurements, quality and maintenance. They will learn how to read Standard Operating Procedures and document reports. Topics in print reading, part visualization from drawings and 3D models, location of key features and dimensional specifications using concepts of geometric tolerancing and dimensioning will be covered. They will learn to use precision scales, calipers, micrometers, dial indicators and other measurement instruments. Students will learn about Quality Systems, Quality control methods, statistical process control and control charts. Topics in Maintenance management and the different schemes will be covered. Students will also learn how to analyze data, perform technical calculations, and demonstrate critical thinking and communication skills. Two classroom, two lab hours per week.

Outcomes
- Measure objects using standard techniques to ensure accuracy and precision within specified dimensions. Use calipers, micrometers and gauges to ensure linear dimensions with precision within specified tolerances. Demonstrate understanding of measurement results and identifying sources of error. Interpret measurement results and identifying source of error.
- Interpret engineering drawings accurately to understand geometric tolerancing, symbols and dimensions.
Read and interpret orthographic, isometric and sectional views. Demonstrate understanding of geometric tolerancing and tolerancing (GD&T) symbols. Identify features, dimensions, tolerances on engineering drawings. Translate drawing information into actionable tasks for manufacturing or inspection processes.
- Demonstrate proficiency in using tools and techniques for quality assurance and control. Demonstrate understanding of statistical process control tools such as control charts and histograms for monitoring and improving process performance. Demonstrate understanding of quality management principles and quality improvement methodologies. Identify and address common quality issues such as defects, non-conformances and deviations from specifications.
- Analyze problems and propose effective solutions in manufacturing and quality contexts. Analyze problems systematically, considering multiple perspectives and potential solutions. Apply logical reasoning and root cause analysis techniques to identify the underlying causes of quality or process efficiencies. Generate innovative solutions and evaluate their feasibility and potential impact.
Work in teams and in communicating problem-solving approaches and presenting findings to stakeholders effectively.
