Theory of Production Processes

Overview

The course focuses on understanding the science behind technology of primary production processes namely casting, forming and welding. Conventionally, the courses on manufacturing processes deal with study of operational procedures. However, it is desirable to know how any process occurs and the products are finally manufactured, the basic principles behind these processes are required to be highlighted. The course will make the students aware with the theoretical aspects of the different manufacturing processes mentioned above. The course has been divided into three sections namely casting, forming and welding, each being covered in 4 weeks of time. The underlying principles of solidification, fluidity, gating, risering, melting etc. will be covered in casting section whereas mechanics of metalworking, analysis of different metal working processes will be covered in the second section i.e. forming. In the third section i.e. welding, principles of welding processes, thermal effects, weldability etc. will be covered. The course will enable the students be conversant with working principles so that they can use the knowledge gained towards increasing the productivity of manufacturing industries in the long run.

  • Taught by IIT and IISc professors, and it follows the Indian university syllabus closely.
  • All videos and assignments are free on NPTEL and SWAYAM.
  • The certificate is recognised by many Indian universities for credit transfer and by GATE aspirants.
  • Great for GATE and semester exam preparation.
  • From Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, a well-regarded name.
  • Completely free.
  • Self-paced: start any time.
  • A clear syllabus (12 parts) you can see before you start.

Disadvantages

  • The certificate needs a proctored exam at a centre, which has a fee.
  • Recorded classroom lectures: thorough, but slower than made-for-online courses.
  • New runs start on fixed dates (January and July).
  • Learning is free, but the certificate costs money.

Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.
