Full-time cooperative education assignment for manufacturing engineering and industrial engineering students who alternate periods of full-time school with periods of full-time academic or career-related work in industry. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.

Materials science in engineering. Structure of perfect solids: metals, plastics, composites, and ceramics. Structure of imperfect solids: phase equilibria; diffusion, mechanical properties, and plastic deformation; strengthening mechanisms; relation between mechanical properties and microstructural control; organic polymers; electrical conduction in materials; semi-conductors; magnetic materials.

Procedures and rationale for planning, designing, and implementing computer simulation experiments used to analyze human-machine systems in engineering, business, and social sciences. Cross listed as IME 561.

This course reviews the principles and concepts required for integrated production System in order to meet customer demand in production, quality, on-time delivery, and continuously reducing manufacturing cost. Emphasis is placed on applying lean manufacturing principles, simulation techniques, and Kaizen methodologies through hands-on projects.

Logistics terms and definitions; logistics as a design process; supply chain concepts, analyzing, designing and implementing logistics systems.
