CO U RS E DE S C RI P TI O N:
Divided into two modules, this course serves as a general introduction to manufacturing principles
and methods. Students will learn the production processes and skills required to manufacture a
product by building a Stirling engine in a modern factory environment. The procedures demonstrated
include Lean, 5S, kan ban shop floor scheduling, statistical process control (SPC), dimensional
inspection reports (DIR), operation sheets, bills of material (BOM), and engineering drawings. The
manufacturing processes used are: CNC milling, CNC turning, punch press operation, manual
milling, drilling and turning, anodizing, burnishing, rapid prototyping, quick change tooling, jigs and
fixtures. Inspections will be accomplished with the use of surface roughness measuring tools,
micrometers, verniers, co-ordinate measuring machines, and an optical comparator. This is a unique
opportunity to not just talk about manufacturing concepts like JIT, lean, 5S SPC, and operation
instructions but to use them in a world class facility. Each operation is fully documented with the use
of operation and process instructions with all parts having engineered drawings with appropriate
tolerances.
RE C O G N I TI O N O F P RI O R L E A R NI N G ( RP L ):
RPL is a process in which students have the opportunity to obtain credit for College-level knowledge
and skills gained outside the classroom and/or through other educational programs. It is a process
that documents and compares a student’s prior learning gained from education, work and life
experience to the learning outcomes in College courses/programs. For more information about RPL
at RRC Polytech, refer to the RPL website at rrc.ca/RPLservices or A14 - RPL Policy.
Contact Aaron Brown at 204-632-2422 for information regarding RPL processes and opportunities
for this course.
For general information and assistance with RPL, contact RRC Polytech’s RPL Advisor at
204.632.3094 or rpladvisor@rrc.ca.

A CC E S S I B I L I TY S TA TE ME NT:
RRC Polytech is committed to providing persons with documented disabilities fair and equal access
to educational programs, services and facilities. If you are a student with a disability* and require
reasonable accommodations, you must connect with Student Accessibility Services (SAS) who will
assist in developing and implementing your accommodation plan. Refer to the Student Accessibility
Services webpage for information about SAS locations and how to book an appointment. Students
with disabilities are also encouraged to have a private discussion with their instructor(s) to facilitate
greater understanding of their learning needs.
*RRC Polytech’s definition of “disability” is consistent with the Manitoba Human Rights Code. In the
educational setting, “disability” refers to a permanent or temporary medical, physical, sensory,
mental health (e.g., anxiety, depression), learning, or neurological (e.g., ADHD, Autism Spectrum
Disorder) condition that interferes with a student’s ability to fully participate in their studies and/or
other associated activities.
A CA DE M I C I N TE G RI TY :
Academic Integrity means acting with the values of honesty, trust, respect, responsibility, fairness
and courage in learning, teaching and research to ensure that the credentials granted by RRC
Polytech accurately represent demonstrated knowledge, skills and abilities. All members of the RRC
Polytech community are expected to demonstrate these values through RRC Polytech learning
activities, relationships and commitments. Clear expectations will be communicated to students to
promote positive academic practices in compliance with RRC Polytech’s Academic Integrity policy.
