Project:
There is a Design for Assembly and Disassembly (DFA&D) project. Each group will pick a product of
interest, apply concurrent engineering, analyze the manual handling and assembly time, re-design the part
for ease of assembly & disassembly with the consideration of customer requirements, and compare the
features. You will experience the principles of product design for the ease of handling, feeding, orienting
and assembly/disassembly as well as the related assembly systems design and operation issues. Each
group will submit an engineering report detailing the whole design process and any concerns. See Project
Outline for details.
Laboratory:
There is a laboratory component to this course. The aim of this lab is to illustrate a fully automated
production line starting from raw material and processing to the finished product. Mr. Brad Luckhart will
be supervising this in the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory. A lab manual prepared by Mr.
Brad Luckhart and the TAs will be available on Moodle, and the labs during the week of Jan 24.
More details about the lab schedule will be posted on the course Moodle.
Exams:
Midterm: Feb 25 (1 hour)
Final: TBD (3 hours)
Course Objectives:
Productivity and global competitiveness are key contributors to any nation’s prosperity and socio-
economic welfare. Manufacturers today must respond quickly to changing market demands and adapt
economically to the changing customers’ needs. Flexible manufacturing emerged as an enabling
technology for achieving the desired responsiveness and agility in a cost-effective manner. The
application of computer assisted techniques and programmable automation solutions in manufacturing
offers great improvements in quality and productivity.
This course overviews some of the modern applications of computers in manufacturing systems. It
presents the principles of Flexible Manufacturing Systems, their main modules, characteristics,
prerequisites and operation. The concepts of computer aided design, computerized machining, use of
robots in manufacturing and assembly, automated material handling and storage systems, and
computerized control and planning of manufacturing systems will be provided in the lectures. Through
the project on Design for Assembly and Disassembly (DFA&D) method, the students will take a hands-
on approach to the design improvement and concurrent engineering principles. In the lab sessions, the
students will be exposed to the operation of computer-controlled processes in a fully integrated system.

ADDENDUM
ACADEMIC CONDUCT ISSUES THAT APPLY IN GENERAL
The basic ten rules that make you a good engineer
The B. Eng. program is set to satisfy most of the requirements for your education and prepares you for a
professional engineering career that requires dedication and knowledge. What you learn, and how you learn,
will be used extensively in your engineering profession for the next 30 to 40 years. Therefore, the four years
spent in the engineering program are crucial towards your professional formation. The first step is for you to
learn to “think like an engineer” which means:

• accept responsibility for your own learning

• follow up on lecture material and homework
• learn problem-solving skills, not just how to solve each specific homework problem
• build a body of knowledge integrated throughout your program
• behave responsibly, ethically and professionally

One of the mainstays of being a professional engineer is a professional code of conduct and as an engineering
student this starts with the Academic Code of Conduct (Article 16.3.14 of the undergraduate calendar).
However, you may encounter situations that fall outside the norm and in such cases, you use your common
sense.
Further, the following issues should be given serious consideration:

1) Attendance at lectures and tutorials are major learning opportunities and should not be missed. The labs
represent a unique opportunity for you to acquire practical knowledge that you will need in your career. Class
and tutorial attendance is important for you to comprehend the discipline and make the connections between
engineering skills. You are strongly encouraged to participate in the class, ask questions and answer the
instructor’s questions. Tutorials are just extensions of the classes in which application of the concepts presented
during the lectures are presented and problems are practically solved.

2) The decision to write tests that are not mandatory is entirely yours. For example, midterm test are often
stated in many courses as optional. However, one the objectives of midterms is to check on your comprehension
of the material and allow time for whatever action is necessary (from more study time to discontinuing a
course). Plan to attend the class tests even if they are not mandatory. If you pay attention in the lectures, it will
take you significantly shorter time to comprehend the material. Note also that if you are in the unfortunate
position of being unable to write a final exam due to medical reasons and seek a deferral, this may not be
possible if the instructor has no information indicating that you have been attending the course and assimilating
the material (ie through midterms, quizzes, assignments etc).
3) Homework is usually mandatory and it has some weight in the final grade (such information is given in the
course outline). Homework may also be conceived as training material for the class tests. Under all
circumstances, it is highly recommended to carry out the home work on time and submit it on the prescribed
date. Late submissions are not granted to individual cases regardless of the reason. This is part of the training
 for being in the workforce where deadlines have to be met. Please, plan your work such that you submit all the
assignments and lab reports on time and in the correct place (not in the corridor or on the street!).

4) Office hours with tutors, lab instructors or class instructors are listed in the course outline/website/office
doors. Please respect these office hours and in case you have a serious conflict, contact the instructor asking for
a special time arrangement.

5) Class tests (midterms, quizzes) are returned to the student. The final exams are not. If you wish to see your
exam paper, be aware that most instructors allow only a narrow window of time for that purpose. For the fall
term, exams may usually be reviewed in January and May for the spring term.

6) When you see your marked work (assignments, midterms, final exam etc), be aware that you are supposed
to review your material and see the type of errors you made and if marks have been added incorrectly. This is
not an opportunity to try and “negotiate” a higher grade with the instructor. If you believe that your grade is not
right, you may apply for a formal Course Reevaluation through the Birks Student Centre.

7) Writing tests and exams represents a major component of your course work. These tests and exams have
rigorous requirements such as:
• No cell phone or other communication enabling tool is allowed on the student during the examination
period.
• Only specified faculty calculators are allowed during tests and exams unless otherwise indicated by the
instructor.
• Usually, no materials are allowed in the exam unless otherwise announced.
Get used to signing in and out of your exam. Make sure that you leave your exam papers with the invigilator. There
are rules concerning general exam issues in the UG Calendar. These requirements are there to eliminate any
possible misunderstanding and you are asked to respect the rules. Disciplinary measures are taken when the
rules are not followed.

8) Respect your colleagues and those that you meet during the class: tutors, instructors, lab instructors,
technical personnel, assistants, etc. Use appropriate communication means and language. Be considerate for all
human beings. This includes small things such as turning off cell-phones before a class begins. Concordia
University is a very diverse group of people and a very large multicultural community.

9) Communication is part of your future profession. Learn how to communicate effectively and efficiently in
the shortest time possible. Write short but meaningful e-mails, make effective phone calls, etc. If your instructor
accepts emails make sure that your request is clear with the course number and your name in the Subject line.
Do not ask for special treatment as instructors have to treat all students equitably.

10) Respect all the above and you will get closer to your future profession.

IP
Content belonging to instructors shared in online courses, including, but not limited to, online lectures, course notes,
and video recordings of classes remain the intellectual property of the faculty member. It may not be distributed,
published or broadcast, in whole or in part, without the express permission of the faculty member. Students are also
forbidden to use their own means of recording any elements of an online class or lecture without express permission
of the instructor. Any unauthorized sharing of course content may constitute a breach of the Academic Code of
Conduct and/or the Code of Rights and Responsibilities. As specified in the Policy on Intellectual Property, the
University does not claim any ownership of or interest in any student IP. All university members retain copyright over
their work.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES
For undergraduate courses & courses that are cross-listed with graduate courses: In the event of extraordinary
circumstances and pursuant to the Academic Regulations, the University may modify the delivery, content, structure,
forum, location and/or evaluation scheme. In the event of such extraordinary circumstances, students will be informed
of the changes

Plagiarism:
The most common offense under the Academic Code of Conduct is plagiarism, which the Code defines as “the
presentation of the work of another person as one’s own or without proper acknowledgement.” This includes material
 copied word for word from books, journals, Internet sites, professor’s course notes, etc. It refers to material that is
paraphrased but closely resembles the original source. It also includes for example the work of a fellow student, an
answer on a quiz, data for a lab report, a paper or assignment completed by another student. It might be a paper
purchased from any source. Plagiarism does not refer to words alone –it can refer to copying images, graphs, tables
and ideas. “Presentation” is not limited to written work. It includes oral presentations, computer assignments and
artistic works. Finally, if you translate the work of another person into any other language and do not cite the source,
this is also plagiarism.
