At the end of this course, students should be able to:
Calculate the material properties based on experimental results, suggest ways of improving material properties as per the requirement or decide the suitability of materials for given metal forming process/ product and analyze metal forming processes mathematically and optimize process
parameters. Determine requirements for a given product including functional and geometric features and calculate the metal forming process parameters and procedures to manufacture the given product including design of metal forming dies, tooling and presses. Analyze requirements in forming nonmetals and design injection moulding dies, derive process parameters to manufacture a given product and design dies for injection moulding and control the injection moulding machines to satisfy given product requirements. Demonstrate life-long learning on metal forming related topics, aiming for professional
development while engaging in metal forming related engineering process with good team working
and interpersonal skills
