The course covers computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, and computerized process support tools for increasing productivity in manufacturing.
PREREQUISITES: Full admission to TM Program, or permission of the TM Program Coordinator.
1. To provide a fundamental understanding of computer-aided design, engineering, production, manufacturing, and inventory techniques in the modern production environment, and their critical nature in maintaining a world-class competitive enterprise.
2. To understand and classify manufacturing systems in order to develop appropriate production strategies; to understand product development cycles and apply appropriate design and production engineering models.
3. Understand the implementation of manufacturing resource planning and production scheduling systems.
4. To become familiar with production process machines and control systems for mechanical and chemical manufacturing processes. This familiarity will be gained through hands-on experience with manufacturing systems at the Robert C. Byrd Institute.
This course will be taught in various formats including; lecture; student group presentations; and field trips. Completion of all reading assignments is expected.
Each student will be expected to contribute to group presentations and prepare discussion questions to be asked of others. Each student will be evaluated by their peers in his/her group for the contribution and insight they bring to the assignment.
Students will be asked to report on subjects selected as personal projects. These projects will entail researching the subject sufficiently to prepare a class presentation of 30 minutes duration with 15 minutes for discussion and questions.
Tests will be announced at least two weeks in advance, quizzes may be given at anytime. Quizzes are useful for insuring comprehension of the assigned reading material.
According to graduate school grading policy, the following symbols are used.
A excellent: 100% to 90%; B good: 89% to 80%; C passing: 79% to 70%; F failing: 69% and below
The grade B represents the benchmark for the graduate school. It indicates that the student has demonstrated competency in the subject matter of the course i.e. has fulfilled all course requirements on time, has a clear grasp of the full range of course materials and concepts, and is able to apply these materials and concepts in clear reasoned, well-organized and grammatically correct responses, whether written or oral. Only students who fully meet this standard and in addition, demonstrate exceptional comprehension and application of the course subject matter, merit an A grade.
