This section provides information about the physical and chemical properties of nickel and its manufacturability.

This section provides information about the physical and chemical properties of stainless stell and its manufacturability.

This Materials Science and Technology Teachers Handbook was developed by Pacific Northwest Laboratory, Richland, Washington, under support from the U.S. Department of Energy.

Learning Outcomes:
Learn more about history of aluminium and aluminium Alloys
Learn about aluminium material structure and properties of aluminium, an important engineering material that is used in many ferrous and non-ferrous alloys for improved strength, toughness as well as other beneficial properties (fatigue, corrosion resistance, low temperature toughness etc.) that can be manufactured from aluminium
Learn about the commercial important alloys where aluminium is a key element
Learn about why and when aluminium should be considered as an engineering material for manufacturing purposes
Lastly, learn about the safety aspects of aluminium while processing and in usage.

This course is an application of common electrical concepts and relay ladder logic/motor control circuits used in industry to maintain and troubleshoot electrical power and control systems, including variable frequency drive systems. Students will learn how to install, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot single-phase transformers, NEMA and IEC contactors & motor starters, motor branch circuits, and reversing circuits (power & control). A heavy focus of the course will be on variable frequency drives. Students will learn to install, maintain, program and troubleshoot industrial programmable VFDs. The course will focus on 3 types of VFD: Automation Direct’s GS2, Allen Bradley PowerFlex 70 and Allen Bradley PowerFlex 525. After completing this course the student will:
1. Install and troubleshoot single phase transformers.
2. Explain, calculate and measure power distribution voltages
3. Explain and troubleshoot NEMA and IEC contactors and motor starters
4. Install and troubleshoot three phase motor branch circuit.
5. Install and troubleshoot three phase motor reversing circuits.
6. Explain the basic operation of a programmable variable frequency drive
7. Wire and configure a programmable variable frequency drive
8. Program and troubleshoot a variable frequency drive
9. Configure and interface a VFD to an AB CompactLogix PLC
10. Explain the signal/data flow in a PLC based system to control a VFD

New trends in manufacturing include processes such as built-in quality, kaizen and kanban as part of the innovative concept of lean production conceived by Japanese automotive manufacturers. In this video these new manufacturing trends are demonstrated in the Honda Manufacturing Plant of Alabama. We learn how mass production is a “push” system and lean production is a “pull” system. Honda associates discuss processes similar to kanban and kaizen and how they improve efficiency, product quality, and result in a happier workforce.

Climate is also where we begin the design process in another tool referenced in the Permaculture design system. This is the Scale of Landscape Permanence, originated by P.A.Yeomans, the founder of Keyline™ Design. Yeomans asserts that the order of design is:

Climate
Landshape
Water Supply
Roads/Access
Trees
Structures
Subdivision Fences
Soil
This book is predominantly about climate, and the macro influences of climate and climate change on design. As we get through the topics of climate analogues and climate change forecasting, we will end up moving down this list to see the climate’s influence on specific design choices.

Production of Educational Videos is an introduction to technical communication that is situated in the production of educational videos; the assignments are all focused on the production of videos that teach some aspect of MIT's first-year core curriculum. The objective of these assignments is improvement in both communication ability and communication habits; these improvements are effected by providing participants with instruction, practice, feedback, and the opportunity for reflection. In addition to improvements in communication skills, improvement is expected in students' attitude towards writing, oral presentations, and collaboration; as the semester progresses, students should feel confident of their ability to write, present, and collaborate.

This course is an in depth study of the Allen Bradley CompactLogix system, and how to use RSLogix5000 programming software to program, monitor and troubleshoot a system. The primary focus will be on the processor memory structure, the intermediate instruction set, analog I/O modules and using the RSLogix5000 software. Students will learn all the data structures used across most industrial PLCs, as well a Tag based system, versus and address based system (SLC-500). Learning how the instructions work within a program will be a critical part of skills development for troubleshooting. A critical part of this course is learning how to search for objects in the L5000 project with RSLogix5000, as a method
of increasing troubleshooting efficiency. Students will also learn of the different programming languages used for the ControlLogix platform (Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Sequential Function Charts). After completing this course the student will:
1. Configure and Troubleshoot CompactLogix Comparison Instructions.
2. Configure and Troubleshoot CompactLogix Move/Logical Instructions.
3. Configure and Troubleshoot CompactLogix File/Misc. Instructions.
4. Configure and Troubleshoot the CompactLogix Sequencer (SQO) instruction.
5. Configure and Troubleshoot CompactLogix Program Control Instructions.
6. Interpret and configure CompactLogix data types and Tag types.
7. Configure and Troubleshoot CompactLogix project structures.
8. Manipulate RSLogix5000 to search for ladder & data objects for troubleshooting.
9. Manipulate RSLogix5000 to add/modify/display project documentation for troubleshooting.
10. Configure and Troubleshoot Analog I/O module
