EMCH 522 Design for Manufacture & Assembly

Catalog Course Description:

EMCH 522 - Design for Manufacture & Assembly. (3) (Prereq: EMCH 327 and EMCH 377) This course is designed to provide an understanding of product design principles for considering issues early to shorten product development time and ensure smooth transitions to manufacturing, thus, accelerating time-to-market.

Prerequisite(s):

EMHC 327–Design of Mechanical Elements and EMCH 377–Manufacturing Processes.
