The term “Advanced Manufacturing Technology” is used to describe flexible manufacturing systems that use innovative technology to improve the design and manufacture of products and processes. The Advanced Manufacturing Technology program teaches students how these systems – using robotic and transport-based automation including modular work cells, assembly stations, storage locations, machining centers, welding centers and painting stations – play out in the product from design and manufacture to delivery to the customer.
This degree program has three strands of study: Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics and Robotics. Each of these strands requires specific electives in the core curriculum. For the Mechanical Engineering strand students must complete the core AMT curriculum requirements with these strand electives:
- Replace MATH155M and MATH171M with MATH204M Calculus and MATH214M Calculus II.
- Take Mechatronics electives ADMT230M CAD/CAM for Manufacturing.
- Take ADMT225M Statics.
Students will acquire an overview of how a complete manufacturing system is tied together to produce high-quality product at a low cost. Students will learn marketable skills in a variety of Automated Manufacturing processes to enter the dynamic world of high-tech manufacturing.
Depending on the degree strand of study, Students graduating from this program will be able to:
- Implement and control automated manufacturing processes.
- Design components and assemblies using SolidWorks.
- SolidWorks CAD Design Associate (CSWA) Certification.
- Use 3D printers, laser cutters, and CNC equipment to fabricate prototypes.
- Illustrate flow of materials and resources within the manufacturing cycle.
- Control a manufacturing system to create finished product.
- Program material handling robots and equipment.
- Perform system analysis and master the troubleshooting process.
- Master lean manufacturing process to maximize production of a product.
- Have theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice in electronics, mechanics, computer systems and software control systems.
