Course Description
 The course aims to equip students with advanced knowledge of the
working principles that are applicable to a range of manufacturing
processes. The course starts with an overview of the major categories of
manufacturing processes. This is followed by the study of various
topics in metrology, casting, forming, joining, and machining. Students
will be able to appreciate the various machines, tools, materials,
working conditions, design consideration, advantages and limitations
involved in these processes.
