Manufacturing Technology and Management - MECH96055

Aims

  • To provide sufficient knowledge and understanding of the operations of an advanced manufacturing machining facility to equip individuals to be ready to participate.
  • Convey the origins, purpose and objectives of Lean, and provide a practical explanation of the diagnostic and improvement action tools used in all industries. 

 

ECTS units:  6    
Contributing to Course Elements: 6 to ME3-LCTVS or ME4-LCTVS

Role

Associate Course Leader

Mathematics and Computing 2 - MECH50003

Aims

To continue the development of key mathematical and computational skills relevant to the wider mechanical engineering programme. Topics include the analytical solution of partial differential equations, basic numerical methods (interpolation, differentiation, integration), discrete methods for the solution of PDEs (finite difference, finite volume) and the iterative solution of systems of equations. For all of these topics, practical implementation through programming is studied. These skills and techniques are in support of ME2, ME3 and ME4 modules.

ECTS units: 10
