Discussion and comparison of manufacturing processes for economy of production; and modifications to proposed designs to suit existing equipment. Material selection to suit production and service requirements is covered along with economics of automation and inventory control. Basic principles of the statistics and probability theory as applied to quality control of manufacturing process are discussed. Machining operations using conventional and modern machine tools are covered in addition to other manufacturing demonstrations.

Honors enrichment course supplementing a required junior level course in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum. This course is open to honors students who are enrolled in the affiliated required course in the mechanical engineering curriculum. The course provides coverage of more advanced topics and more in-depth analysis of concepts than are covered in the basic class. The course may include lecture and laboratory components at the instructor's discretion.
Principles and procedures necessary to control processes and quality of manufactured products. Topics include: product quality, quality assurance, destructive and non-destructive tests, statistical methods in quality control, acceptance sampling, rectifying inspection, sensors, automated inspection, control charts, total quality control, quality circle, quality philosophy of Deming, Taguchi, and others.
The need and subject matter of research. Laws, truths, analogy and hypothesis. Identifying and clustering parameters. Use of models. Experimental setup. Induction, deduction, statistics, and conclusions. Presentation and use of finding.

Wenzhen Huang obtained his Ph.D. in Industrial Engineering from The University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2004 and worked as postdoctoral research fellow at UW-Madison. He also worked as a professor of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University, China, for about 5 years.
Professor Huang's interests are in product and manufacturing process modeling, simulation, design analysis and optimization, and diagnosis for variation reduction and quality improvement. Specific topics in his recent and current research include streams of variation modeling and analysis (SOVA) in multi-stage manufacturing systems, compliant assembly process, GD&T modeling and simulation, statistical tolerance analysis and synthesis, probabilistic design and optimization, metrology and sensor system, and statistical signal processing for diagnosis and quality control. The application area covers automotive, fuel cell, MEMS,aerospace, shipbuilding, power industries, and general mechanical products and manufacturing systems design. His research has been and is supported by ATP/NIST, NSF, and UMASSD Chancellor's Fund.
