COURSE DESCRIPTION:
MFG- 226 Methods, Fixture Design, and Estimating will explore and develop the skills necessary to
mentally visualize how to effectively and economically make precision-machined parts. Students
will learn how to select materials, type of process, type of equipment, sequence of operations,
fixtures, tools, etc. Methods development and documentation will be demonstrated and practiced.
Jig & fixture types and design criteria will be reviewed.
2 lecture, 2 labs, 3 credits
Prerequisites: MFG 229 Materials Processing & Fabrication Techniques and DFT-210 CAD 1
or MFG-119 Manufacturing Design I
Co-requisites: None
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
As a result of meeting the requirements in
this course, students will be able to:
Student performance on these objectives will be
measured by:
1. Identify a method per customer part
drawings and specifications that uses diverse
materials and processes.
Graded Exam.
2. Estimate from a given operations sheet, the
cost to manufacture and suggest potential
opportunities for cost reduction.
Graded Exam.
3. Design a custom work holding fixture, given
an operations sheet and a parts drawing.
Graded hands-on lab project.
4. Develop a “hands-on” project through the
steps of visualization, method
documentation, cost estimation, design of
fixtures and generation of a part.
Graded hands-on lab project.
