IME 433/633: Additive Manufacturing (Approved) Syllabus
Scheduled for Fall 2017, this elective course is developed for Junior and senior engineering students.
The content of this course covers the details about additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technologies.
The course focuses on the advance design techniques for AM, physical principles of different AM processes,
AM process optimization, materials for AM, investigate application domain of additive manufacturing and process parameters for bio-AM. IME 485/685: Facility Design and Layout
This is a core course for the undergraduate students in the IME department and is focused on different facility design and layout algorithm.
This course was offered as capstone project for IME department prior to my arrival in 2013. I developed the course curriculum for 3 credit
regular lecturing. This course focuses on facilities planning with emphasis on the design, analysis, and selection of manufacturing/service
facilities and material handling systems. The topics covered include definition of facilities planning; role of product process and schedule
design; relationship among flow, space, and activity. Students also learn on how to determine the space requirements for personnel and equipment.
Furthermore, selection of material handling systems and principles of storage and warehousing is introduced.
Newly Developed Laboratory
Additive Manufacturing laboratory (Dolve 147)
A new additive manufacturing laboratory is developed to support student learning and research at NDSU.
Four different AM process equipment, three different 3D scanners, post processing work-bench were acquired
using various fund granted to Khoda.
The laboratory (Dolve 137) is used by undergraduate and graduate student for their classes, projects including capstone, competitions and research. Automation laboratory (Dolve 142)
A complete renovation of the automation laboratory in IME department was accomplished in Fall 2016 by Khoda with the help of the dept Chair.
Automation equipment design and selection, syllabus planning, laboratory layout was performed during this process. A laboratory development
grant from provost office was utilized for this development.
