Courses

This course covers three topics including robotic welding, advanced PLC and industrial robotics with RobotExpert software. In robotic welding, students are introduced to some basic manufacturing processes and become familiar with the role of robotics in manufacturing and production. In advanced PLC, students learn how to program Advanced Ladder Logic module and use PLCs in industrial applications that require electrical control.

These courses constitute a series wherein the student works on a part-time basis in a job directly related to advanced manufacturing. In these courses the employer evaluates the student's productivity and the student submits a descriptive report of his work experiences. Upon completion, the student will demonstrate skills learned in an employment setting. ART-Art

. Non-traditional manufacturing processes including ultrasonic machining, abrasive jet machining, water jet cutting, electro-mechanical machining, electric discharge machining, plasma arc machining and chemical milling that are used to optimize production in the manufacturing and shipbuilding industries.

Students in this course explore the latest in energy technologies and how they are designed to increase efficiencies, protect the environment and streamline processes. Students discover how some of the new technologies have been around for quite some time and the reasons they are capturing new attention.

This course introduces various advanced tools, technologies, and strategies in modern manufacturing. Topic coverage emphasizes state-of-the-art in factory automation, as well as global and smart manufacturing enterprises. Specific topics include process automation and control, advanced manufacturing processes, intelligent manufacturing control, and information and communication technology (ICT) in manufacturing.

Study of the understanding of ecological processes with an emphasis on the mechanisms that control the distribution of plants and animals at scales ranging from the individual to the ecosystem; lecture and discussion sessions.

This course will build on the foundations provided by introductory ecology courses to enhance understanding of the mechanisms that control the distribution and abundance of marine plants and animals. The class periods will be dominated by discussions of assigned readings from the primary literature, which will be complemented by summary lecture material.
