November 5 - 6: Training Program for the Prospective JICA Experts at AIT
The Gender and Development Studies, SERD will organize a short training program on November 5-6, 2002 entitled 'Methodology of Social and Gender Analysis Course' for the prospective JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) Experts.
November 8, 1:00 p.m.: Design for Manufacturability Lecture
The above lecture will be held in Room 106, Chalerm Prakiat Building and will be conducted by Dr. Pramod Kumar Jain, a candidate for a faculty position in the Field of Design and Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Systems Engineering Program, School of Advanced Technologies.
It will cover several important issues related with
manufacturability analysis of machined parts. A two-stage manufacturability analysis tool developed for manufacturability evaluation of turned parts with non-axisymmetric features will be the focus of presentation. The following aspects of the developed methodology will be covered:
- Part representation for manufacturability analysis.
- Feature-function analysis for consideration of manufacturability issues.
- Establishing a correlation between the design and manufacturability related attributes.
- Studies on preliminary manufacturability analysis.
- Studies on secondary manufacturability analysis and recommendations.
- Conclusion and recommendations for further research.
Members of FA&R; Panel, Search Panel, SAT faculty/staff/students are invited. All ISE students are expected to attend and interested persons are welcome.
