Course Description
In this course you study the fundamentals and advanced techniques related to manufacturing processes. In addition to the applied aspects of manufacturing processes, a sound analytical basis for some of the processes will be taught. Through the use of analytical approaches in conjunction with laboratory practicals you will learn how to control a manufacturing process for optimal production. This course builds a foundation of capability for the solution, analysis and synthesis of a wide variety of manufacturing problems.
Please note that if you take this course for a bachelor honours program, your overall mark in this course will be one of the course marks that will be used to calculate the weighted average mark (WAM) that will determine your award level. (This applies to students who commence enrolment in a bachelor honours program from 1 January 2016 onward. See the WAM information web page for more information.

Overview of Learning Activities
You will be actively engaged in a range of learning activities such as pre-recorded lectures, lectorials, tutorials and lab practicals. Delivery may be face to face, online or a mix of both.
The key concepts and their applications will be explained and illustrated in pre-recorded lecture videos, combined with face-to-face lectorials to develop your skills to solve problems. Practical lab sessions will give you the opportunities to gain hands-on experience with manufacturing processes. You will work in groups to conduct lab practicals and prepare lab reports.
You are encouraged to be proactive and self-directed in your learning, asking questions of your lecturer and/or peers and seeking out information as required, especially from the numerous sources available through the RMIT library, and through links and material specific to this course that is available through myRMIT Studies Course.
Overview of Learning Resources
RMIT will provide you with resources and tools for learning in this course through myRMIT Studies Course.
There are services available to support your learning through the University Library. The Library provides guides on academic referencing and subject specialist help as well as a range of study support services. For further information, please visit the Library page on the RMIT University website and the myRMIT student portal.
