OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES
Outcome 1: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to identify the Design for Manufacturing processes.

Objectives: Using the Design for Manufacturing processes, the learner will:

  1. Simplify the design and reduce the number of parts within the time allowed.
  2. Identify the standardization and the use of common parts and materials within the time allowed.
  3. Define the design for ease of fabrication within the time allowed.
  4. Identify the design for parts orientation and handling within the time allowed.

Outcome 2: Upon completion of the course, students will be able to identify the Design for Assembly processes.

Objectives: Using the Design for Assembly processes, the learner will:

  1. Define the simplifying process of a design within the time allowed.
  2. Identify the reduction of parts within the time allowed.
  3. Identify the reduction time in assembly within the time allowed.

Outcome 3: Upon completion of the course, students will be able define the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) techniques.

Objectives: Using the FMEA tools, the learner will:

  1. Identify the FMEA with 90% accuracy.
  2. Define the benefits of FMEA with 90% accuracy
  3. Identify the FMEA timing within the time allowed.
