Course Description
A technical elective course in the Associate of Applied Science Degree in the Machine Manufacturing Technology program. Provides an introduction to the development of NC machine tool manufacturing processes using computer aided process planning and advanced CAD/CAM software. Emphasizes analysis and planning required for successful NC production, development of CAD drawings and solid models for CAM program development, toolpath imulation software, and manufacturing engineering issues associated with NC based production. Prerequisite: MCH 273.Addendum to Course Description
PREREQUISITE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:
MCH 273
Intended Outcomes for the course
This course is based on competency mastery. Each section is assigned to a specific competency. Sections may be independent or dependent on other sections. Demonstrate knowledge in understanding of the following:- Computer Assisted Programming functions of a modern manufacturing enterprise where computer applications may be applied. The functions are identified as:
- Computer Assisted Machining;
- Programmable Logic Controllers
- Robots
- FMS - Flexible Manufacturing Systems
- CAPP - Computer Aided Process Planning
- application hardware/software for the programming of NC/CNC Machine tools.
- advanced technologies included in modern manufacturing.
- CAD/CAM/CIM integration.
Course Activities and Design
MCH 284 Computer Aided Manufacturing will be presented by means of audio-visual presentations, demonstrations, lab experiences, and research activities. The course activities and design emphasize the development of skills and knowledge outcomes prescribed by established industry standards. The identified outcomes will be achieved by means of individual and team activities.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
POLICY - Student performance measurements are based on established industry standards. The various areas of study during the course will be evaluated by a variety of activities. Typical of those activities are the following;
1. READING ASSIGNMENTS - Information sheets, textbooks, journal articles and the learning resource center are potential sources of information that the student will reference as directed in the modules identified in the introduction.
2. PRACTICE - Completion of tasks and projects identified in the reading assignments, information sheets, journal articles and textbooks. Students are required to complete practice activities with 100% competency.
3. SELF-ASSESSMENT - Checking and evaluating the students understanding and knowledge gained through the reading assignments and practices typically done through a practice evaluation.
4. LAB ACTIVITIES - Participation in structured laboratory exercises with the emphasis on developing skills or increasing expertise in the areas of study identified in the module packets.
5. FINAL ASSESSMENT - An assessment in the form of a written exam and/or practical application that addresses the subject areas identified in the module packets. Students are required to complete final assessment activities with 85% competency.
