What is manufacturing engineering? Manufacturing engineering designs manufacturing facilities for products, deals with robots, packaging and shipping facilities. Engineers work on and the process of making products. They create ways for products to be efficient, costeffective, so it would have success at the market, and watch over all process. Factory machines are constructing cars It is extension of mechanical engineering because it involves a lot of mechanical processes such as use of machines for packaging and shipping.
How manufacturing engineering might be involved in one of the Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20 th century? Achievement #7 Agricultural Mechanization With agricultural mechanization, gathering crops became not a very big deal. Engineers developed mechanisms to help agricultural fields. There is automated irrigation system, now. Manufacturing engineering is part of it because it helps agriculture products to get into the market easier. Manufacturing engineering packages and shipping products. And now, when everything is covered by the automated system, there is a lot more of product to sell, so is the work for manufacturing engineers. Automated irrigation is in action
What can a manufacturing engineer do to make solar energy economical? § Find ways to lower the manufacturing costs o Use new materials for solar cells to reduce fabrication costs o Make efficient machines that would make solar cells o While manufacturing, make solar production-fuel cell storage system for a solar energy using less materials • Monitor every process during manufacturing Solar cell panels
If I were a manufacturing engineer… If I were a manufacturing engineer and were to choose one of the grand challenges to work on, it would be “Developing Carbon Sequestration Methods”. The growth in emissions of carbon dioxide is a big cause of global warming, so people should so something in order to isolate the emission and stop global warming. It is important to the world, because global warming is very dangerous. I, as an engineer in manufacturing discipline, could contribute to a solution to this challenge by: • Manufacturing a chemical systems for capturing carbon dioxide • Make this process be economical Emission of carbon dioxide
