Questions and Answers

Explain the technical process of manufacturing and how it adds value to materials.

Manufacturing is the transformation of materials into items of greater value through processing and/or assembly operations. It adds value to the material by changing its shape or properties, or by combining it with other materials.

Define manufacturing as an economic process and provide an example related to hardware production.

Manufacturing as an economic process refers to the production of hardware. For example, it includes the production of nuts and bolts, forgings, cars, airplanes, digital computers, plastic parts, and ceramic products.

List the three basic categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing and briefly explain their differences.

The three basic categories of engineering materials used in manufacturing are metals, ceramics, and polymers. They differ in terms of their chemistries, as well as their mechanical and physical properties.
