ADMF 102 - Technology in Advanced Manufacturing


PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITE: ADMF 101 - Key Principles of Advanced Manufacturing .

PROGRAM: Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2019

Introduces manufacturing processes and basic mechanical, electrical, and fluid power principles and practices used in manufacturing environments. Topics include; types of production, production materials, machining and tooling, manufacturing planning, production control, and product distribution will be covered. Students will be expected to understand the product life cycle from conception through distribution. This course also focuses on technologies used in production processes. Basic power systems, energy transfer systems, machine operation and control will be explored. This course will use lecture, lab, online simulation and programming to prepare students for Certified Production Technician Testing through Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC).

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Conduct assigned tasks in a safe and professional manner while working either independently or in small groups. [c, d]
  2. Identify basic manufacturing processes and major types of production systems. [e, f]
  3. Define common properties of industrial materials, their application, testing and enhancement [f].
