This exciting course provides students with the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology in a global perspective. Students will have individual and team projects in the following areas of manufacturing: Computer Modeling — using a three dimensional, solid modeling software package with mass property analysis and design interface tools. Additive & Subtractive Prototyping — converting computer generated geometry into a CNC program to create prototypes — converting computer generated geometry into a program to drive CNC machine tools. Robotics — robotic arm programming and how they are used for materials handling and assembly operations. Flexible Manufacturing Systems — working in teams to design manufacturing work cells and table top factory simulations. The students will interact with industry experts and should expect to be challenged with ideation and creation of projects while working within a set of constraints. There will also be client connected projects that will be done as part of our connections to business partners in the area. Students need to choose 2 of the 3 courses (DE, RASE, AE) to make a full-year selection.
