Computer Control of Manufacturing Processes

The student will be introduced to the field of manufacturing as a control's application area with an emphasis on machining systems. The student will be exposed to the issues in manufacturing systems and learn how to model, control, and simulate machining systems. Topics include machine structures, servomechanisms, CNC programming, interpolation, coordinated control, process modeling and control, and manufacturing systems. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to successfully apply their knowledge to model, control, and simulate manufacturing systems and processes.
