ADVANCED FABRICATION TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING

Undergraduate

This course concentrates on manufacturing knowledge with a focus on advanced fabrication techniques (AFT) and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM). Students will expand their knowledge of traditional processes including CAD/CAM, forming, welding, milling, etc. leading into innovative advanced fabrication techniques in additive and precision manufacturing, next generation electronics, robotics and smart automation (CIM), and sustainable and green manufacturing modeling and simulation in the manufacturing process developed through lectures and labs. Integration of CIM into supply chain design and management is emphasized based on synergistic application of mechatronics approach and philosophy. Cross-level listed with SDE 6310. PREREQUISITES: Engineering 3340, 3440, or 3540; and Engineering 2360 Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week
