Manufacturing Engineering and [[Industrial Engineering]] are names that are frequently used inter-changeably. However [[Industrialization]] has changed since in the 1970s with [[Globalization]], the [[Outsourcing]] of production, and the growth of the [[Virtual Corporation]]. As a result [[Industrial Engineering]] has begun to focus more on the external dynamics of industrial processes, such as: [[Process Management]], [[Project Management]], [[Logistics]], [[Human Factors]], and [[Labor Relations]]; while Manufacturing Engineering remains focused on the internal dynamics of industrial processes, such as: [[Machine Tools]], [[Materials Science]], [[Tribology]], and [[Quality Control]].<br />
<br />
While there are many sub-disciplinary components that feed into industrial processes, Manufacturing Engineering can be further defined through a [[Taxonomy of manufacturing processes]].<br />
<br />
==Shaping==<br />
<br />
[[Shaping]] involve processes that perform [[Boolean]] operations on matter or contort matter to conform to desired shapes.<br />
<br />
===Mass Reducing===<br />
====Mechanical Reducing====<br />
<br />
Mechanical reducing typically involves the use of a hard and sharp metallic object to remove matter. Among the operations involved are:<br />
<br />
* [[Drilling]]<br />
* [[Boring]]<br />
* [[Turning]]<br />
* [[Sawing]]<br />
* [[Broaching]]<br />
* [[Filing]]<br />
* [[Grinding]]<br />
* [[Shearing]]<br />
* [[Punching]]<br />
<br />
====Thermal Reducing====<br />
<br />
Thermal reducing involves the use of heat to induce a physical [[Phase Transition]]. Operations may include:<br />
<br />
* [[Gas torching]]<br />
* [[Plasma torching]]<br />
* [[EDM]]<br />
* [[Laser torching]]<br />
* [[Melting]]<br />
<br />
====Chemical Reducing====<br />
<br />
''Chemical reducing'' involves the use of chemicals to induce <br />
<br />
===Mass-Conserving===<br />
<br />
[[Consolidation]]<br />
<br />
====Deformation====<br />
===Joining===<br />
====Thermal Joining====<br />
====Chemical Joining====<br />
[[Adhesion]] <br />
Adhesive Bonding is a joining process where a liquid or semi liquid substance is applied to adjoining work pieces to provide a long lasting bond. Materials that have the ability to be bonded together are virtually unlimited. Adhesives used in bonding can exist in many forms. Adhesive materials can also be made from various natural and/or artificial compounds.<br />

==Non-shaping==<br />
===Heat Treatments===<br />

[[Annealing]]<br />
<br />
[[Hardening]]<br />
