Course Description: This course is designed to provide an introduction of modeling to production as it relates to advanced manufacturing. Emphasis will be placed on developing basic safety skills, trade math, and the industry terminology, history, and future. These areas of instruction will be reinforced by hands-on application in several performance lab exercises.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to:
- Practice safety skills that are required on job-sites.
- Explain the basic principles of production software used in advanced manufacturing.
- Describe the principles of manufacturing modeling software.
- Identify types of materials and different uses within the advanced manufacturing industry.
- Convert units of measurement from the standard system to the metric systems, and vice-versa.
