MEC 816

In the first part of the course fundamentals of tool design will be covered. Open-ended tool design problems will be used to illustrate the design process for jigs, fixtures and press tools. Common fabrication processes will be covered in the second half of the course. Permanent joining processes including welding, brazing and soldering will be discussed. Assembly processes both manual and automated will be presented and design for assembly principles reviewed. Fabrication of semi-conductor devices will also be presented.
