Syllabus

Course Objectives

“Manufacturing Studies” contributes to the educational goals related to the manufacturing-industrial area, in particular with respect to the methodologies and the techniques about the conception, design and manufacturing of industrial items.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • Understand and describe the main industrial manufacturing processes.
  • Analyze and optimize manufacturing cycles.
  • Apply design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles to new or existing products.
  • Evaluate production costs and propose cost-reduction strategies.
  • Identify technical, economic, and environmental critical issues related to design and production choices.
  • Integrate Industry 5.0 concepts into product design and manufacturing processes.





Course Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of Manufacturing Technology

Teaching Methods

Lectures, practical exercises, case studies, group projects, and potential industry guest lectures or site visits.


Assessment Methods

The written test (about two hours) consists of both theoretical questions and a numerical exercise. The maximum points for each question/exercise is 10. The final grade of the written test expressed in thirty is the mean of the scores obtained for each question/exercise. The results will be published on the web page of the course.

The students can take part to a Group project work that will be defined during the course. The project is optional. The object is the design of a new product to be placed on the market and its economic analysis. A report and a final presentation in power point, followed by a discussion, are necessary. Both the report and the presentation must be delivered within a week before the project discussion date.

The project work will be evaluated in terms of accuracy, completeness, correctness and originality. The maximum number of points that can be awarded for the project is 5.

The final grade will be the sum of the mark out of thirty obtained in the written exam and the points earned from the project work.
