ENME 808B:
Emerging Manufacturing Technologies
(Course
Syllabus)
Synopsis
This course
will provide an overview of several emerging manufacturing technologies.
Technologies in this course will cover a wide range of manufacturing operations
including product development, fabrication, assembly, and inspection. Technologies
from macro, micro, and nano scale will be covered. For
each of the topic, we will provide technology overview, assessment of the
current state of the technology, and examples of applications where technology
is being used. For a selected number of technologies, we will also show videos
of the technology in action. This course is intended for researchers interested
in developing new manufacturing technologies and engineers interested in
evaluating and deploying emerging manufacturing technologies.
