ADVANCED ENGINEERING: THERMAL SPRAY COATINGS

Course Classification: Science, Technology, and Engineering

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Thermal spray technology provides a cost-effective functional surface solution for many applications requiring resistance to wear, heat, and corrosion. This practically-oriented course is intended to familiarize graduate students with an understanding of thermal spray processing science and front-line research topics, with attention to the latest development and innovations in the field. The second purpose of this interdisciplinary course is to give the students technological/engineering perspectives of thermal spray applications and practice.

Students’ key learning objectives: Develop knowledge and specific hands-on skills in thermal spray processing of materials; Perform spraying of single- and multi-phase compositions, ceramics, metal-matrix, and functionally gradient materials; Carry out physical properties evaluations of sprayed deposits and assessing coating microstructural features using characterization methods and analysis tools; Build finite element models of spraying nozzles and perform computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis to optimize spraying criteria and find optimal process parameters; Use and practice modern principles of advanced manufacturing technologies by performing computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) tasks.

The course has 3 sections:

• lecture;
• tutorial/demonstration;
• a section when students individually work on practical aspects of thermal spray technology assigned by the instructor. A list of possible topics and a set of detailed instructions will be distributed to the students. Problems solved by the students must be submitted in the form of one technical report describing their research and a 20 min oral presentation by the end of the semester.

COURSE PREREQUISITES

There are no formal prerequisites, however, a basic understanding of materials science and mechanical engineering is recommended.

INDUSTRIAL ROBOTICS

Course Classification: Science, Technology, and Engineering

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Industrial robots offer substantial gains in manufacturing productivity, particularly when integrated into an automated system. A great range of capabilities commonly includes a wide variety of basic industrial tasks: material handling and palletizing, machine loading, parts assembly, welding, spray painting, and tool operation.

This practical-oriented course aims to familiarize graduate students with intelligent industrial robots and gain valuable hands-on skills through extensive training sessions and utilizing modern concepts and techniques of controlling robot manipulators and types of end effectors. Also, students will be trained to handle different automation tasks required by the needs of a particular industrial sector.

The course has 3 sections:

• lecture;
• tutorial/demonstration;
• a section when students individually work on individual projects (e.g. palletizing, welding, milling, etc.).

COURSE PREREQUISITES

There are no formal prerequisites; however, a basic understanding of engineering and mechanics is recommended. Knowledge of Python and/or C++ programming languages will be an advantage, along with experience in operating Linux systems.
