Student must own basic knowledge relative to the following fields: MATERIALS: + Properties and common uses in aerospace applications of polymeric, ceramic and composite materials. + Properties and common uses in aerospace application of metallic materials. ENGINEERING GRAPHICS: + Descriptive geometry. + Standard specification for the representation of basic industrial and aerospace elements. + Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. + Computer aided design. MANUFACTURING PROCESSES: + Manufacturing in the aerospace industry: Manufacturing processes. Geometric and functional specifications. Tooling and assembly processes.

At the end of the course the student should be able to: -Identify manufacturing process capabilities. -Select properly the technology or group of technologies to product a piece, component or mechanism attending to its application. -Select the type of material to manufacture a piece, component or mechanism considering different aspects as service life, machinability and maintenance. -Recognize and predict a potential failure in aerospace structures and propulsion systems with analytical and numerical techniques.

REQUIREMENTS TO MANUFACTURING PROCESSES: PROCESS CETIFICATION, DESIGN Engineering requirements: data for manufacturing Quality requirements. Cost requirements Environmental requirements Lead time Plant lay-up Stability of the process: development vs production. Certification of manufacturing processes. MANUFACTURING PROCESS CAPABILITIES. Why we need to fix these capabilities How to define process capabilities Repeatability of the process Statistical analysis of manufacturing capabilities Tolerances Defects (composite materials) CONCURRENT ENGINEERING: MATERIALS, DESIGN AND PRODUCTION INTEGRATION Why concurrent engineering Product view from different company areas: local target vs global target Thinking out of the box. Mutual challenge and collaboration Concurrent engineering vs technologies Advanced Composite Materials MANUFACTURING PROCESSES FOR ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS: AUTOCLAVE PROCESS, RTM, FILAMENT WINDING.
