Computer Integrated Manufacuring
This course is designed to expose students to the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology. The course is built around several key concepts: Computer Modeling-using a three dimensional, solid modeling software package with mass property analysis. CNC Equipment-understanding the machine tools and its operating and programming aspects. CAM Software-converting computer generated geometry into a program to drive CNC machine tools. Robotics-using a robot for materials handling and assembly operations. Flexible Manufacturing Systems-working in teams to design manufacturing work-cells and table top factory simulations.
