Learning Outcomes

After attending the course with approval, the student should be able to:
OB1: know properties, characterization methods and testing of materials and associate the concept of tolerance and surface condition (roughness) to manufacturing processes.
OB2: identify the most common manufacturing processes and associate parts to be manufactured with manufacturing processes.
OB3: identify sustainable development opportunities applied to manufacturing processes (OB2).
