Students have to select four of the six areas. Students are not allowed to use books or notes (unless permitted by the faculty preparing the test) and are required to answer two (out of three) questions in each area. To pass the exam, a student must receive a passing grade (B or better) in each of the selected four areas. A student is allowed no more than two attempts to pass the prelim exam. The exam is administered according to the following time schedule: 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. Probability/Statistics 9:35 a.m. - 10:35 a.m. Operations Research 10:45 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. Ergonomics 11:50 a.m. - 12:50 p.m. Production Systems 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. Manufacturing Tools 2:10 p.m. 3:10 p.m. Manufacturing Methods and Materials 1. Probability and Statistics: Random sampling, sampling distributions, one- and two-sample estimation problems and hypothesis tests, confidence interval, simple and multiple linear regression, correlation analysis, ANOVA, nonparametric statistics (sign tests, signed rank tests, rank-sum test, runs test K-W test, rank correlation). 2. Operations Research: Decision modeling and OR analysis, LP formulation and solution (graphical, simplex), duality/sensitivity/parametric analysis, transportation/assignment models, dynamic programming, queuing models (M/M/1/GD/(/(, M/M/1/GD/c/(, M/M/s/GD/(/(, M/M/R/GD/K/K), network models (minimum spanning tree, maximum flow, shortest path), integer programming (modeling, branch-and bound method for IP, MIP, and 0-1 IP). 3. Ergonomics: Anthropometry, seat design, workplace design principles, work physiology, hand tool design, manual materials handling, cumulative trauma disorder, development of an ergonomics program, human machine interface, and environment. 4. Production Systems: Classification of manufacturing systems, Push/Pull Systems, capacity planning, production control, master production schedule, scheduling, aggregate production planning, forecasting, and inventory control, Factory dynamics including variability. 5. Manufacturing Tools: Tool materials, machine tool kinematics and controls, cutting tool design, workholding principles and components, jig and fixture design, modular tooling, inspection and gauging, pressworking tools. 6. Manufacturing Methods & Materials: Yield criteria and work hardening behavior of metals; properties of common engineering materials; Heat transfer, fluid flow and microstructure development in casting; heat treatment of steel and aluminum; loads (stresses) and formability (strains) in bulk forming operations such as forging, extrusion and rolling; loads and formability in sheet metal forming processes such as bending, cup drawing and shearing; strain, strain rate, force, temperature and tool wear in orthogonal metal cutting; design of above processes Prelim Exam Calendar: (Please check related published documents for exact dates in each semester) Last Thursday before the fall semester Last Thursday before the spring semester In case of a conflict with university holiday, dates will be moved a week back or forward.
