ORGANISATIONAL COMPONENT

1. GENERAL PREMISE AND EDUCATIONAL APPROACH

This third year course, called Manufacturing Systems (MVS 311) follows on the manufacturing

knowledge gained in the first year in Graphical Communication (MGC 110) as well as the

manufacturing knowledge gained in the second year in Manufacturing and Design (MOW 217).

In particular, the first year Graphical Communication (MGC 110) course gives a general

introduction to manufacturing processes and covers specific manufacturing topics such as metal

casting processes, sheet metal working as well as machining operations and machine tools.

In the second year, the Manufacturing and Design (MOW 217) course covers manufacturing

processes such as solidification processes, particulate processes, deformation processes, material

removal, heat treatment, cleaning and surface treatments, coating and deposition processes,

welding, brazing and soldering, adhesive bonding, threaded fasteners and permanent fastening

methods.

The third year Manufacturing Systems MVS 311 course uses the same textbook (Principles of

Modern Manufacturing, SI Version by Mikell P. Groover, 5th

edition 2013 or Global edition 2016)

as prescribed for the second year MOW 217 course and the contents of MVS 311 includes

• Rapid Prototyping and Additive Manufacturing,

• Processing of integrated circuits,

• Electronics assembly and packaging,

• Micro-fabrication technologies,

• Nanofabrication technologies,

• Automated technologies for manufacturing systems,

• Integrated Manufacturing systems,

• Process planning and production control, and

• Quality control and inspection.

The educational approach is to present the content of the topics as described in the prescribed text

book using illustrative and practical examples where possible. Emphasis will also be given to the

practical implementation of the treated technologies.

It is interesting to note that some of the topics listed under the contents of MVS 311 are also

mentioned in the closing paragraph of the article “The development of the industrial engineering

profession in South Africa” by F. Sperotto (S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. Vol.26, No.2, Aug. 2015):

“Rapid changes in the social and industrial environment continue unabated, driven by accelerating

technological developments, availability of information, networking, and globalization.

Developments in polymers and new materials from nanotechnology, for example; the variety of

energy sources; new manufacturing processes and paradigms, such as additive manufacturing and

distributed manufacturing; aerial and robotic networking; neuromorphic technology and predictive

intelligence; the Internet of Things (IoT); the spread of integrating techniques, technologies and

systems throughout the whole supply chain and its parallel, waste flow management; the increasing

value-adding applications in the service industries; and the blossoming world of virtual reality; will

4

extend the complexity of integrated systems and change the focus of industrial engineering, the

needs of industry, the nature of work, the human-machine relationship, and the culture and lifestyle

of people. Inevitably, the industrial engineering profession and its institutions will need to embrace

these changes in order to remain relevant and to contribute meaningfully to industry and society.”

2. DEPARTMENTAL STUDY GUIDE

This study guide is a crucial part of the general study guide of the Department. In the study guide of the

Department , information is given on the mission and vision of the department , general administration and

regulations (professionalism and integrity, course related information and formal communication, workshop

use and safety, plagiarism, class representative duties, sick test and sick exam guidelines, vacation work,

appeal process and adjustment of marks, university regulations, frequently asked questions), ECSA outcomes

and ECSA exit level outcomes, ECSA knowledge areas, CDIO, new curriculum and assessment of cognitive

levels. It is expected that you are very familiar with the content of the Departmental Study Guide. It is

available in English and Afrikaans on the Department’s website.

Eng III – 5 Lectures

Friday 12:30 – 15:20 Eng III – 2 Practical

This module carries a weighting of 16 credits, indicating that on average a student should spend

some 160 hours to master the required skills (including time for preparation for tests and

examinations).

5.2 Lectures

The lectures will be presented based on the descriptions given in the prescribed text book.

5.3 Weekly Practical

Weekly practical sessions will as far as possible be scheduled with guest speakers from industry

presenting the practical side and implementation examples of the technologies discussed during the

lectures.

A factory / facility visit or visits may be arranged to be attended on a voluntary basis by interested

students. Factory / facility visit(s) will be scheduled during selected Friday afternoon practical

session(s). Announcements regarding such factory / facility visit(s) will be made during class and

on the MVS 311 module ClickUp website.
