production engineering. It is designed as a course that will give students a necessary foundation for a comprehensive understanding of production processes and production systems. The objective of the course is to provide detailed information to the students about the processes and machines involved in different material removal processes like conventional machining, abrasive machining, non-conventional machining processes and numerically controlled machining. Furthermore the course introduces the students to the concept of metrology, production planning, flexible manufacturing systems, group technology and Computer integrated 2 manufacturing (CIM). 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 21.9 21.10
