ME 51500 - Quality Control

Credit Hours: 3.00. (ECE 51801). This course examines the design in order to acquire a better product/process quality. Other aspects of design included are robust design, parameter design, or Taguchi Techniques. This course also gives students a current understanding of the techniques and applications of design of experiments in quality engineering design. The students will learn design of quality control systems in manufacturing, use of advanced statistical process controls, sampling inspection techniques, process capability, and other statistical tools. Also included are vendor sourcing and control tools, methods for establishing specifications and tolerances, quality function deployment, and other quality control techniques. In addition, Six Sigma will be included. The course is aimed primarily to engineering graduate students interested in project management. Prerequisite: Basic Statistics. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.

Course Learning Outcomes
1. Understand the design of quality into products and processes using design of experiments including robust/parameter design and tolerance design techniques.2. Learn that design of experiments is a systematic and efficient method of design optimization for performance, quality, and cost in quality engineering.3. Be able to use statistical quality control to improve the product and/or process quality for a given design.
