Computer Integrated ManufacturingTypical Prerequisite(s): Introduction to Engineering Design, Digital Electronics, Principles of Engineering
CIM is a course that applies principles of rapid prototyping, robotics and automation. This course builds upon the computer solid modeling skills developed in Introduction to Engineering Design. Students will use computer controlled rapid prototyping and CNC equipment to solve problems by constructing actual models of their three-dimensional designs. Students will also be introduced to the fundamentals of robotics and how this equipment is used in an automated manufacturing environment. Students will evaluate their design solutions using various techniques of analysis, and make appropriate modifications before producing their prototypes.
