Manufacturing Systems II

Students develop an in-depth understanding of automation and its applications to manufacturing. Students will use computers and interactive multimedia modules to design, engineer and produce products, control robots and program computer controlled machines. Activities center on flexible manufacturing processes, product quality assurance, applied electrical controls, mechanical drive systems, fluid power, and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) in the management and control of the manufacturing process. Students will learn to program and use a carbon laser to produce, refine, or engrave a project.
