About Course

Course Overview

This internship course is designed to bridge the gap between theoretical mechanical design and large-scale industrial production. Students will explore how to transform raw designs into finished products by optimizing resources, managing workflows, and implementing cutting-edge manufacturing technologies.

You will move beyond the “how to build” and focus on the “how to build efficiently” using Industry 4.0 principles.


What You Will Learn

  • Production Planning & Control: Mastering the scheduling of machines, labor, and materials to ensure seamless output.

  • CAD/CAM Integration: Bridging the gap between 3D modeling and automated manufacturing through computer-aided manufacturing.

  • Quality Management Systems (QMS): Implementing Lean Six Sigma and Total Quality Management (TQM) to minimize defects.

  • Automation & Robotics: Understanding the role of PLC programming and robotic arms in high-volume production lines.

  • Supply Chain & Logistics: Managing the flow of raw materials and finished goods in a globalized manufacturing environment.


Core Learning Pillars

Pillar Focus Area Key Outcome
Process Design Workflow Mapping Reducing bottlenecks in production.
Resource Allocation ERP Systems Optimizing the use of materials and human capital.
Sustainability Green Manufacturing Reducing carbon footprints and industrial waste.
Digital Twin Simulation Testing production lines in a virtual environment before physical setup.

Why Enroll in This Internship?

  1. Hands-on Experience: Work with real-world industrial data and simulation software.

  2. Industry 4.0 Ready: Gain exposure to IoT-enabled factories and smart manufacturing.

  3. Career Readiness: Develop the skills required for roles such as Process Engineer, Production Manager, or Operations Analyst.

“The goal of Manufacturing Process Management isn’t just to make things—it’s to define the most efficient path from an idea to a reality.”
