ADVANCED FABRICATION TECHNIQUES AND COMPUTER-INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING

Graduate

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. Graduate-level project will be required as defined in consultation with the instructor. This course is not eligible for the PhD-SDE program. Cross-level listed with ENGN 4310; credit cannot be received for both courses.
