ECAD 1060 - Materials and Manufacturing Process

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab None
Course Description: This is a survey course of the manufacturing processes, materials and properties as pertaining to drafting and design. Materials processes such as casting, forging, machining, welding, forming and molding and how they affect a design or drawing will be explored. Students will be exposed to these processes and how the results of these processes affect drawings through fieldtrips, demonstrations and videos.
MnTC Goals
