Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. Have knowledge about production methods, can choose the appropriate production method
  2. Recognizes the materials used in production, can comment on their processability, and can take into account any changes that may occur in the material structure during production.
  3. Can decide on the necessary production processes to be applied for a part from raw material to final shape, and can make the necessary calculations in the production processes.
  4. Can choose materials and appropriate production methods by being aware of production costs and environmental impact components
  5. Can write a report within the scope of the project, make a business plan, transfer the plan to competent people and evaluate the report and feedback given to him/her.
