Offer 1 with catalog number 4021341ENR for all students in the 2nd semester at a (E) Master - advanced level.
Under construction
Structural elements of machines, cars, airplaines etc. are made out of rax material (metal or synthetic) that is processed to a final product.
The first part of the course treats the processing of the raw material following the machining technology. This means material parts (chips) are removed from a rough product in order to obtain a usable end product that corresponds to a set geometrical configuration. There is the pure mechanical machining, the chemical machining, ant the electro-chemical techniques.
Finally the first part has economical considerations like optimum batch size and the cost of operation.
The second part of the course treats quality assurance following ISO 9000,whereby actually TQM (Total Quality Management), integral quality policy in a production process is considered and where we focus on the process and the organization as part of the process.
The third part is an introduction in computerized manufacturing management. MRP1 and 2, Kanban,etc. An active research by the student will be required.
The last 2 parts are applicable in all manufacturing processes.
Under construction.
In this course forming and processing of materials are discussed for the students of the master in applied sciences and engineering: mechanics. Getting familiar with applied mechanical technology and current ISO 9000 procedures. The student has to understand how a product is formed from a specific bulk material. The relations are worked out between material microstructure, the forming process and the obtained properties of the realised product. The student has to identicate and define the most important parameters of a forming process. He or she should be able to understand the influence of the selected material(for example the relation between the nature of the metal, selected alloy within relation to the obtained mechanical properties)in relation with the selected forming process. He or she should be able to understand some tribological factors and estimate different surface defects that can occur during the forming operations. Relevant industrial processing operation as rolling, extrusion, deep drawing, hydroforming are discussed. Some visits to industrial plants are organised. This course can also be selected as an option for the program of Master of Applied Sciences and Engineering: Chemistry and Materials: Option Packet Materials For Construction.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of exact sciences with the specificity of their application to engineering.
Having in-depth knowledge and understanding of the advanced methods and theories to schematize and model complex problems or processes.
Having an in-depth understanding of safety standards and rules with respect to mechanical, electrical and energy systems.
Can reformulate complex engineering problems in order to solve them (simplifying assumptions, reducing complexity).
Can present and defend results in a scientifically sound way, using contemporary communication tools, for a national as well as for an international professional or lay audience.
Can work in an industrial environment with attention to safety, quality assurance, communication and reporting.
Can develop, plan, execute and manage engineering projects at the level of a starting professional.
The final grade is composed based on the following categories:
