Study Notes
Types of Manufacturing
- Mechanical/Discrete/Solid manufacturing involves creation of solid objects, such as cars, ships, and planes
Focus of Mechanical/Discrete/Solid Manufacturing
- Shape realization: achieving the geometry (external shape and size) and matrix (internal composition and porosity) of solid objects
- Focus is on solids, with reasonable success in geometry but less success in matrix control
Energy Forms in Manufacturing
- Two primary energy forms: Heat and Force (or Pressure)
- Heat and Pressure can be applied to a point, surface, or volume, with varying temporal applications (continuous, intermittent, spike)
Classification of Manufacturing Processes
- 4D plot of variations: Temperature (cold & hot), Pressure (vacuum & pressure), Temporal (pulse, int, & continuous), and Spatial (point, area, & volume)
Notes on Learning and Knowledge
- Knowledge is transmitted by all objects, animate and inanimate; one must tune their "antenna" to receive it
- Learning is a pull, not a push; respect others' ideas and be open to unlearning and iterating
Course Overview
- This course is an introduction to basic engineering skills and manufacturing
- The course will cover the entire curriculum, but in-depth coverage will occur in other courses
- Students will learn through questioning and interactions with peers, seniors, and professors
