Synopsis Of Year 3 Modules

EG3287
Shop Floor Monitoring and Control
[75 hours]
This module trains students in useful software tools and techniques for developing solutions for shop-floor monitoring and control operations. Software such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) for process visualization and monitoring will be taught. Real-time monitoring and manufacturing control system concepts will be taught.

EG3451
Advanced Metrology and TQM
[75 hours]
This module provides students the theory and applications of the latest metrology equipment and total quality management. The focus will be on the understanding of the working principles of precision measuring equipment, its methodology and techniques for precision measurement. The precision measurement techniques covered includes surface finish measurement, roundness measurement, contact and non-contact coordinate measurement and sub-micron measurement of micro-parts. Topics covered in total quality management includes basics concepts of TQM, leadership, role of senior management, quality council, core values and quality statements, strategic planning, customer satisfaction, employee involvement and continuous process improvement.

EG3286
Professional and Interpersonal Communication Skills
[45 hours]
This module aims to help students understand and acquire communication skills they will need in the work place. Students will be equipped with the relevant job search skills, and will practice writing resumes, job application letters and interview skills. The module also covers the dynamics of meetings, change management and cross-cultural communication. It also prepares students for various forms of business writing - minutes, memoranda and other business correspondence. Students will gain insight into organizational structure, corporate culture and business etiquette, enabling them to better fit into their future work place.

EG3452
Semestral Project 5
[90 hours]
This module aims to explore and develop students’ abilities in applying techniques/skills and knowledge learnt to Project Management in the area of Mould Design. Students are expected to design a mould, complete with all necessary tooling and insert designs. Further to that, students have to perform Flow Analysis and Design Optimization, and, Process Integration and Optimization to their design. Finally, students have to present their designs, with all the Analysis and Optimization results and Case Studies.

EG3453
Integrated CAM & CNC Technology
[75 hours]
This module introduces the applications of Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software applications with the Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining processes. It provides in-depth working knowledge of CAM & CNC technology through extensive hands-on practices. Students will be taught the generation of multi-axis CNC programming with the aid of a CAM software package working on complex CAD models and will also be exposed to post processor customisation and its relation to CNC machine configuration.

EG3454
Product Innovation & Rapid Prototyping
[75 hours]
This module equips students with the essential knowledge of product innovation process with coverage on the application of Computer Aided Design tools for design and development of components and products. They will also be introduced to the concept and applications of various rapid prototyping and rapid tooling techniques.

EG3455
Advanced Plastics Processing Technology
[75 hours]
This module provides the students with an in-depth knowledge of injection moulding machine and moulding process. It also covers process optimization and control, process automation and integration in a modern moulding environment. Students will also be taught on the effects of critical moulding parameters on the product quality and other moulding techniques including clean room moulding, micro-moulding and multi-components moulding.

EG3456
Advanced Mould & Tool Design
[75 hours]
This module explores more into 3-plates mould design and 3D mould design. It also includes CAM for Tooling Manufacturing and insight into Flow Analysis. Upon completion of this module, the students will have in depth understanding of 2-plates and 3-plates Mould Design and Flow Analysis. Students will also be able to incorporate CAM into the tooling design for the mould. With this knowledge, they will also be able to comprehend advance mould design and analysis and support toolroom operation in CAM.
