"Manufacturing Engineering is a branch of professional engineering which involves numerous concepts, subjects and processes. Metal casting being one of the most eminent". The main motive of this course is to make you understand the CASTING process in greater detail without taking much of your time. The prime focus here is the traditional casting process (Sand casting). However, modern casting techniques as such Die casting, Centrifugal casting, Investment casting etc. will also be covered.
