Program Student Learning Outcomes
At the end of the program, the graduate will be able to:
- Author and troubleshoot Computer Numerically Control (CNC) and Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), and microcontroller programs.
- Specify and install those sensors, detectors and electromechanical drive elements that are commonly found in industrial automation settings.
- Use manual machine shop tooling including manual lathes, mills and drill presses to fabricate and inspect mechanical parts and assemblies to a tolerance of +/- .003 inches.
- Read and explain basic electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic symbols and schematics.
- Analyze, synthesize, modify and troubleshoot manufacturing processes in the field.
- Apply mathematical Statistical Process control techniques to measure and analyze variations in manufacturing processes.
