Advanced Vehicle Manufacturing


Course Description

Advanced analysis of ground and spaceflight vehicle manufacturing and assembly processes. Emphasis placed on the design, analysis, and manufacturing of automotive (e.g., passenger vehicles) and rocket spaceflight vehicle systems. Details the quantitative and qualitative components of manufacturing, material selection, material treatment, identification of processes used to manufacture, methods for quality control, and factory performance metrics as it relates to ground and space vehicular systems.

Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Course will include a manufacturing process simulation project for all students. Graduate students will complete a more comprehensive extension to the project by performing a discrete-event simulation to understand the dynamic process analysis of a specific step in the manufacturing process. Graduate students will use this extension to make informed solution recommendations on the project.
