PME 243 Manufacturing Processes 機械製造
<br>Fall 2022
<br>
<br>Welcome and Course Plan 
<br>Welcome.  We are delighted to have you in Fall 2022 PME 243 Manufacturing 
<br>Processes and honored to be your instructors.  We will use the flipped classroom 
<br>learning with pre-recorded lecture videos.  Before the start of class at 8:00 am 
<br>on Tuesday and 9:00 am on Friday, you need to watch the lecture video and take 
<br>the quiz.  Studying the lecture materials before the class is important for in-
<br>depth discussion and labs.  We welcome your feedback in this course and flipped 
<br>classroom learning when we explore the wonderful world of manufacturing 
<br>processes together.
<br>
<br>This year, the course will be jointly offered by

<br>Goals
<br>The purpose of this course is to introduce: 1) methods of production and 
<br>manufacturing of mechanical engineering related industrial and commercial 
<br>products and their parts, 2) basic principle, characteristics and required 
<br>equipment of various manufacturing processes, and 3) engineering methods for 
<br>improving productivity in these processes and methods. This course will connect 
<br>with all mechanical engineering core courses in design, mechanics/materials, 
<br>thermal/fluid, and dynamics/control to manufacturing.  
<br>
<br>Course Topics
<br>Key topics are: 
<br>
<br>-- Overview of manufacturing processes and the foundation for innovations 
<br>and global competitiveness and supply chain – Lecture 2-1
<br>-- Work- and tool-materials – Lectures 2-2 and 2-3
<br>-- Machine tools – Lecture 2-4
<br>-- Machining – Lecture 2-5
<br>-- Integrated circuit (IC), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and 
<br>printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing – Lecture 2-6
<br>-- Additive manufacturing – Lecture 2-7
<br>-- Joining – Lecture 2-8
<br>-- me<x>tal forming – Lecture 2-9
<br>-- Plastic and composite manufacturing – Lecture 2-10
<br>-- Casting – Lecture 2-11
<br>
<br>Lecture and Quiz
<br>All lecture videos are available online.  You need to watch the lecture and take 
<br>the quiz online before the start of the class on Tuesday at 8:00 am or Friday at 
<br>9:00 am for the discussion and lab. 
<br>
<br>Homework 
<br>Homework is individual work.  Homework will be submitted electronically.  All 
<br>homework assignments are due at 9 pm on Tuesday. The second hour on Tuesday will 
<br>provide TA help on the homework preparation.  The 10 homework assignments in 
<br>this course are: (subjected to change before the start of the semester)
<br>
<br>HW #1 The “Team Taiwan” on Surgical Mask Manufacturing: The Importance 
<br>of Manufacturing Technology for the Health and Wealth of the Society
<br>HW #2 Tesla giga press, what is that and the work- and tool-materials 
<br>and Machine tools – look at machines 
<br>HW #3 Machining – Single point and multiple point cutting
<br>HW #4 Machining – Multiple point and abrasive cutting 
<br>HW #5 IC, MEMS, PCB mfg 
<br>HW #6 Additive mfg 
<br>HW #7 Joining
<br>HW #8 me<x>tal forming
<br>HW #9 Plastic material processing
<br>HW #10 Casting 
<br>
<br>Teaming, Projects, and Peer Evaluation 
<br>The course has four team projects.  Project reports are the work of a team.  
<br>Each team is targeted to have 8 students.  You can form your own team.  Teaming 
<br>will start in the first week.  
<br>
<br>Projects:
<br>To be announced
<br>
<br>A peer evaluation and self-assessment will be carried out twice during the 
<br>semester.  Your peer evaluation score will be assigned ba<x>sed on your personal 
<br>contribution to the lab, which will be calculated as the average of the scores 
<br>reported anonymously by each integrant of every team (including yourself).  Your 
<br>project score will be the product of your team project report score and your 
<br>individual peer evaluation score.
<br>
<br>Exams
<br>Exam 1, Nov 10, 8-9:40 am (up to Lecture 5) 
<br>Exam 2, Jan 5, 8-9:40 am (from Lecture 6 to the end of the course) 
<br>
<br>In-person, closed-book exam. 
<br>One-page double side cheat sheet allowed. 
<br>Contents in the Discussion session are included in the exam. 
<br>
<br>Grading
<br>The grading scheme is as follows:
<br>
<br>Exam #1								25%
<br>Exam #2								25%
<br>Homework							20%
<br>Project reports (team + peer evaluation)			15%
<br>Quiz and participation						15%
<br>
<br>You can request for regrading the exam, homework, and project report if you have 
<br>an issue of the grade.  Such requests must be accompanied by a written report 
<br>emailing to the lead TA Alice Feng (ahfeng@pme.nthu.edu.tw) within one week 
<br>after receiving the grade explaining the reasons.  After a week, no re-grade 
<br>requests will be accepted.
<br>
<br>Honor Pledge
<br>All students need to sign a honor pledge that the homework, quiz, and exams are 
<br>completed on your own.  You must submit the solution individually and may not 
<br>compare your solution with your classmates.  For homework, you must 
<br>independently formulate your solution, though discussing the subject matter with 
<br>your classmates is encouraged.  Collaborations on quiz and exam are not allowed.  
<br>
<br>Honor pledge: “I affirm that I have not given or received any unauthorized help 
<br>on this work, and that this work is my own.” [signature and date] 
<br>
<br>Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
<br>I consider this classroom to be a place where you will be treated with respect, 
<br>and I welcome individuals of all ages, backgrounds, beliefs, ethnicities, 
<br>genders, gender identities, gender ex<x>pressions, national origins, religious 
<br>affiliations, sexual orientations, ability – and other visible and nonvisible 
<br>differences. All members of this class are expected to contribute to a 
<br>respectful, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all classmates. I may 
<br>either, in the lecture or smaller interactions, accidentally use a language that 
<br>creates offense or discomfort. Should I do this, please contact me and help me 
<br>understand and avoid making the same mistake again.
<br>
<br>Language
<br>The course will be taught in English with all lectures, homework, and project 
<br>reports communicated in English.  Both instructors speak Mandarin Chinese.  You 
<br>should feel free to ask questions and write emails in Mandarin Chinese during 
<br>the class if you cannot express yourself well in English.  We may respond in 
<br>English.  Do NOT be shy from interacting with the instructors and teaching 
<br>assistants (TAs) because of language.  We can discuss using both languages.  All 
<br>official written communications, such as homework and project reports, are 
<br>encouraged (but not necessary) to be written in English in this course.  
<br>
<br>Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) 
<br>The use of generative AI, such as ChatGPT, is encouraged in this course.
