Course Description:
The design of mechanical and electrical systems, materials selection, and fabrication processes are surveyed and
shown to be essential components of manufacturing engineering. The mechanical and thermal processing of a wide
range of metallic and nonmetallic materials is reviewed. Particular focus will be placed on building a physical
understanding of materials processing, with emphasis on the scaling laws that govern process speed, volume, and
material quantity.
The course grade will be based on four components. (1) Three problem sets will be assigned periodically
throughout the semester and focus on quantitative application of the topics discussed in lecture. (2) Two exams will
be administered with emphasis on physical concepts. (3) A group project and “team term paper” where a number of
manufacturing processes are analyzed in the context of a “common thread”. (4) Class participation.

Grading:
The course grade will be divided between the problem sets, exams, group project, and class participation, as follows:
Problem Sets 30%
Exams 30%
Project Presentations 15%
Term Papers 15%
Class Participation 10%
Class Meetings:
Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 – 2:20PM in Physics 113. The course schedule provides a tentative description of
our activities for each class. Two recitations will be held during usual lecture meeting times prior to the exams.
Project presentations will also take place during usual class times.

Website: We will have a course website on blackboard, which will be used primarily for announcements and as a
repository for files. Problem sets will also be distributed online.

DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES (DSS) STATEMENT

If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning disability that may impact your course work, please
contact Disability Support Services, ECC (Educational Communications Center) Building, room128, (631) 632-
6748. They will determine with you what accommodations, if any, are necessary and appropriate. All information
and documentation is confidential.

Students who require assistance during emergency evacuation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their
professors and Disability Support Services. For procedures and information go to the following website:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all submitted work.
Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty are required to report any suspected
instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. Faculty in the Health Sciences Center (School of
Health Technology & Management, Nursing, Social Welfare, Dental Medicine) and School of Medicine are required
to follow their school-specific procedures. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including
categories of academic dishonesty, please refer to the academic judiciary website at
http://www.stonybrook.edu/uaa/academicjudiciary/

CRITICAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are
required to report to the Office of Judicial Affairs any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach,
compromises the safety of the learning environment, or inhibits students' ability to learn. Faculty in the HSC
Schools and the School of Medicine are required to follow their school-specific procedures.
