ISE 430/530: Manufacturing Systems and Facilities Design

Throughout the semester, students will develop an understanding of modern manufacturing systems design, with an emphasis on facility location and plant layout. This includes classical systems, just-in-time systems, and principles of integrated manufacturing systems design, as well as an analysis of process flow, productivity, and available space to determine facility layout:

• Specify primary and related activities in a facility and define their interrelationships
• Determine space requirements for different activities and equipment
• Develop and evaluate layout plans for a facility using algorithmic and quantitative methods
• Determine material handling needs and equipment requirements
• Integrate and analyze all components of facilities design

• Instruction: Hybrid
• Preqrequisites: ISE324 - WORK DESIGN and MAE378 - MATERIALS & MFG PROCESS
• Target audience: intermediate

ENGR 2120: Engineering Statics

In Statics, a fundamental engineering course, students explore the principles of statics through the study of two- and three-dimensional force systems, equilibrium conditions in rigid structures, and the concepts of centroids, friction, and area moments of inertia. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how these elements interact in various engineering contexts, equipping students with the analytical skills necessary to resolve and apply these principles to real-world problems in engineering. The curriculum, combining theoretical foundations with practical problem-solving, lays a solid groundwork for advanced engineering studies.
