Course Description
This course aims to equip students with the ability to plan the production processes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), apply manufacturing methods, and use quality control/testing techniques. The course covers the basic concepts of business and production management, classification of production systems, contemporary production approaches, and fundamental manufacturing methods such as casting, machining, plastic forming, and joining, as well as non-destructive testing techniques. Students reinforce theoretical knowledge through practical examples to gain a holistic perspective on UAV systems' production and testing processes.
