CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD

Content

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    The course will be a seminar on focusing on production themes and trends.

    Seminar course consisting of topics in the field of production engineering offered in regularly scheduled subjects. The topics change yearly. Also include guest speakers from industry and exercises related to simulation and CAM.

    The course deepens the knowledge acquired in the bachelor s level Production Technology course. The course covers a broad range of topics in modern manufacturing, including topics taught in most advanced production engineering courses, such as manufacturing methods and trends. Variable topics include: robotics and automation, digital manufacturing tools and software, and production planning and scheduling. Student will write and present a seminar study, critique each other s work and revise their own writing in light of other s comments. Attendance at the seminars is required. The course has varying focus areas each year.
