IT-208
SYLLABUS Fall 2007
COURSE
NUMBER: IT208 COURSE TITLE: Fundamentals of Manufacturing Processes; 3
credit hours.
COURSE
DESCRIPTION: This course is an
introduction to the basic processes, equipment, & materials used in
manufacturing. Materials & their
properties covered include metals, plastics, & composites. Processes include casting, extrusion,
drawing, rolling, deposition, & thermoforming.
COURSE
INTRODUCTION & STUDY TECHNIQUES:
IT-208 covers a great deal of
material. This is a survey course. Text readings, videos, & the lectures
will help in the understanding of the various concepts covered in the text. All of the text will not be covered. See Reading Schedule in this syllabus
for specifics. A great deal of the
concentration of this course is on familiarizing the student with terminology
& application. Read the assigned
pages before coming to class. In
your reading, don’t get bogged down in the equations, calculations, & deep
technical data, particularly the areas that are chemistry and/or metallurgy
based. Try to gain a general
understanding of the information.

TEACHING
METHODS:
Informal lecture, group discussion, and
videos.
ATTENDANCE: Students are required to attend all
classes. It is very difficult to make up
for missed class time. Students who are
absent or late without a work-related or health excuse will be penalized one
letter grade. Those with a valid excuse
will be required to make up the class or classes missed by a written homework
assignment on the material missed. This
assignment will not be graded but will be used to ensure the student has a
basic understanding of the missed material.
COURSEWORK: All course work is due by the dates
reflected in the Reading Assignment & Homework Schedule of this
syllabus. Late test completion, not
excused in advance by the instructor, will be reduced 10 points per week or
fraction thereof; i.e. a test grade of 90, if late one week or less, would be
reduced to an 80. If late between 1 and
2 weeks it would be reduced to 70, etc.
Presentations of papers are 20% of the paper’s grade.
INCOMPLETE
GRADES: University policy contained in the
"Undergraduate Catalog” requires that students who request an INCOMPLETE
GRADE must be engaged in PASSING WORK.
If extenuating circumstances arise, the student must immediately
request, IN WRITING, an extension from the instructor detailing the
circumstances and dates involved. If a
delay in completing course work is approved by the instructor, an extension
will be granted which will reflect the new due date(s) for completion of the
work. The time extension will not exceed
a period of time equal to the amount of time lost due to the extenuating
circumstance. Work not completed by the
last class date, if not otherwise extended by the instructor, will be given
"zero" value in determining a final course grade.
CONTESTED
GRADE/TEST SCORES: If you contest a
test score and/or your final grade, it must be done within 30 days of the
course completion date.
EXAMINATIONS: Multiple choice & T/F tests will cover
assigned readings & lectures. A
helpful study tool are the PowerPoint slides on my website.
Exam
#1: Chapters i, 1,2,3,4,5, 6, 7,8, 9.
Exam
#2: Chapters 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17,
18, & 33.
PAPER: Prepare and present a typed
(12 font), double spaced paper, approximately two (2) pages in length on
the following.
1) Select a
product or item. 2) Evaluate the material it is made of (i.e. aluminum, stainless
steel, ceramic, etc.) and determine why you believe this particular material
was chosen (ie. strength, toughness, ductility, brittleness, ease of
manufacturing, material availability, cost to manufacture, etc.). 3)
Select an alternate material that the product could be made of
(appropriate strength, etc.), and evaluate the advantages/disadvantages of
using the alternate material. 4) Provide a cover page with the
following: Product selected, Your Name, IT-208, School Location (ie. Edwards
AFB), and Date. 5) Provide a bibliography page.
Obviously the cover page and bibliography do not count towards the
three-page requirement. Do not use covers
or protectors, STAPLE PAPER ONLY! Paper
will be graded on research, analysis, and college level writing. Papers will not be returned. For help on material selection, see
