M5003. Quality design

Equivalencia: M 99 254

This course shows the role of DOE in the design and manufacture process, how to characterize a design statistically and methodologies of experiment design used in the engineering design process. The student must be able to make sensitivity analysis applying experiment designs, develop mathematical models from the sensitivity analysis, minimize the number of experiments for an elevated number of factors, obtain optimal mechanical designs considering the maximization of the performance and integrate the DOE techniques to the mechanical design process by computer (CAD/CAE).

M5004. Analysis and synthesis of mechanical systems

Equivalencia: M 99 239

The objective of this course is to provide the students with the Bond Graph methodology, utilized for the unified modeling, analysis and synthesis of engineering systems, simultaneously containing mechanical, thermal, fluidic, electric, electromagnetic and electronic components, making Bond Graph an adequate methodology for the design of electromagnetic and mechatronics systems. A unified modeling approach, bond graph, is taught in the course, based on the similarities and the energy and power flow of the interacting systems. Basic techniques of equation formulation, time response of linear systems, the Laplace transform, computer simulation, Bode and root locus diagram. The course covers applications to mechanical vibration and feedback control.

M5006. Concurrent engineering

Equivalencia: M 99 243

Concurrent Engineering (CE) is a customer oriented manufacturing approach based on multi-disciplinary team work. The students will learn the principles and fundamentals of CE as well as a model for its introduction, planning and implementation in the industry considering the organization, information, human resources and technological aspects. The students will learn all the tools and methods that support the CE philosophy such as QFD, DFx, FMEF, CAD/CAM integration, Project Management as well as the relation with the quality standards such as ISO 9000, QS 9000 and Six Sigma in an integrated methodology to support the product development from concept, design engineering and manufacturing until use and disposal. Information systems to support data integration is also covered in product data technologies as well as the manufacturing process information. This is to ensure achieving the companies aim in better business profit through the delivery of better, cheaper and faster product that give total customer satisfaction.
