MCE 473 Computer Integrated Manufacturing

COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING (3).  This course is intended to expose students to modern manufacturing and automation principles with a specific focus on CIM and engineering integration issues (both concepts as well as hands-on practice). The course will present in-depth materials on automated shop floor control, including manufacturing equipment control, process plan representation models, control architecture (hierarchical vs. distributed), and functional architecture (decision-making, monitoring, and execution). The course will also present materials on CAPP, PLC, robotics, and integration issues in manufacturing. Students via class projects will develop an automated shop floor control system. Prerequisites:  MAT 350, MCE 370, MCE 412.
