MTRE 6720: Digital Manufacturing and Robotic Automation

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to the MS program in Intelligent Robotic Systems
This course covers important Digital Manufacturing Concepts and Tools to support Next Generation Automation Systems (NGAS). The course includes manufacturing integration at the station and cell level. This course considers Product Life-cycle Management (PLM) approaches to enhance current industrial manufacturing processes, as well as to design and develop the NGAS. Particular emphasis is on manufacturing systems using robots at station integration for implementing important industrial applications. Students entering this course are assumed to be familiar with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Solid Edge, NX, CATIA, PRO/Engineering, or Autodesk Inventor.
