Course overview and goals
To obtain the optimum shape and function at research or creative works, students in this course will work to learn processing machines and its safety use.
Course description and aims
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
１）Be able to use the processing machines such as milling machine, lathe, drill press, band saw laser material processing machines appropriately, and to obtain objective shape.
２）Be able to judge a optimum shape by the use of measurement equipment.
Keywords

Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
The course is centered on practical training in groups of 7 -8 people. Each group will learn material processing methods, the use of measurement equipment, machine operation of tools. In addition, students will learn that safe procedure, and the predicted risks. And students will also learn about the emergency actions to be taken.

Prerequisites
Students must have successfully completed both Mechanical engineering literacy (MEC.A202) and Engineering Literacy (XEG.B101･XEG.B102･XEG.B103･XEG.B104) or have equivalent knowledge. Because of the limit of the number of devices or tools, a student of the Mechanical Engineering can take this course with priority when the number of students is greater than the number of machine.
Other
For safety reasons, students should wear appropriate clothing for mechanical processing such as work clothes. Depending on the assignment, students need a PC with Inventor installed.
