The objective of the Computer Integrated Manufacturing course is to expose students to the fundamentals of computerized manufacturing technology.The course is built around several key concepts:

• Computer modeling – Utilize 3D solid modeling software package (Inventor) 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 – students working in teams to design manufacturing work cells and tabletop factory simulations.

There is a fee associated with this course.
