Manufacturing Engineering Chair
Assefa Asmare Tsegaw (PhD) Associate Professor, Precision Manufacture and Metrology Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Chair Holder Email: assefa1960@gmail.com/ assefaa@bdu.edu.et Mobile: +251918703107 Office: New Building | Manufacturing Engineering is a branch of professional engineering that shares many common concepts and ideas with other fields of engineering such as mechanical, chemical, electrical, and industrial engineering. Manufacturing engineering requires the ability to plan the practices of manufacturing; to research and to develop tools, processes, machines and equipment; and to integrate the facilities and systems for producing quality products with the optimum expenditure of capital. The manufacturing engineers are designers, as well as analytical and creative thinkers. primary focus is to turn raw material into an updated or new product in the most effective, efficient & economic way possible; focus on the design, development and operation of integrated systems of production to obtain high quality & economically competitive products. These systems may include material handling equipment, machine tools, robots or even computers or networks of computers. Manufacturing Engineering is based on core mechanical engineering skills, adding important elements from mechatronics, commerce, economics and business management. This field also deals with the integration of different facilities and systems for producing quality products (with optimal expenditure) by applying the principles of physics and the results of manufacturing systems studies, such as the following: Craft; Putting-out system; Advanced joining of ferrous, nonferrous and composite materials; Advanced foundry engineering; Metrology engineering; Mass production; Computer integrated manufacturing; Computer-aided technologies in manufacturing; Flexible manufacturing; Mass customization; Agile manufacturing; Rapid manufacturing etc. _________________________________________________________ | |
