70 MfET 4200. Manufacturing Processes (2) Manufacturing processes define the methods that companies use in designing, producing, and delivering goods and services required by customers. The manufacturing processes provide the execution component to the other activities of the integrated manufacturing system. Beginning with customer requirements and needs, they design, build, operate, upgrade, and maintain a manufacturing process which is most supportive of and consistent with those needs and requirements. To achieve these objectives, manufacturing processes draw on three different but very interrelated subsystems: industrial facilities management, process design and development, and manufacturing. (APICS Series) Evening classes only. MfET 4210. Cost Estimating and Engineering Economics (2) Production cost structure, operation costing, break-even analysis, make buy decision, and capital equipment justification.

Manufacturing Simulation (2) Discrete-event simulation of manufacturing systems, as a tool for developing more responsive systems. Simulation is shown to be a viable method of predicting outcomes in a stochastic system. Modeling assignments include: material handling constructs, probability distributions, logical branching, and report analysis. Prerequisites: MfET 3010, MfET SI2410 and MfET 4590. MfET 4610. Senior Project Planning and Estimating (5) F, S This is designed as a capstone course for students and is to be taken in the senior year of their program. The course will teach students, entering Senior Project, fundamental principles in Project Management, Cost Estimating, Engineering Economics and Production Management that will be necessary to successfully complete their Senior Project experience. Students must apply and gain departmental approval before entering Senior Project. Approval is based on an interview with department faculty and fulfilling the prerequisites listed on the "Senior Project Requirements Sheet" available from the department secretary. All students approved for Senior project will register for this course regardless of individual project group assignments. Five lectures per week. Co-requisite: MfET 4610 Lab. MfET 4610L, 4620L. Senior Project Lab (2 2) F, S Must apply for senior project before March 1 of the previous year. Must have department approval. Approval is based on an interview with department faculty and fulfilling the prerequisites listed on the "Senior Project Requirements Sheet" available from the department secretary. Time: as required to complete the project. Two consecutive semesters. Co-requisite: MfET 4610 (with MfET 4610L only). MfET 4650. Software Quality Engineering Principles (2) F This course prepares the student to incorporate quality development and implementation as a software design team member. The course provides instruction on concepts, principles and techniques to develop a comprehensive understanding of software inspection, testing, verification, and validation. Participants will learn to implement software development and maintenance processes and methods. This course also prepares the student for the Certified Systems Quality Engineer examination administered through American Society for Quality. MfET 4670. Reliability Engineering Principles (2) F This course prepares the student to work as a design team member to incorporate reliability considerations into a basic design. Course provides information on application of proven techniques to achieve quality product results. This course also prepares the student for the Certified Reliability Engineer examination administered through American Society for Quality. Weber State University 2 004-2005 Catalog
