Objectives
One of the main objectives are to familiarize and transmit knowledge to the students concerning the new integrated product development and Concurrent Engineering, using the enabling technologies like CAD, CAE, CAM, CAPP and PD systrems.
Another objective is the knowledge acquisition concerning Computer Aided Manufacturing focused in numerical control machine-tools programming. The studente will use Integrated CAD/CAM systems.
Knowledge
At the end of this path, the student should demonstrate a fluent knowledge of:
- Fundamentalm principles of Integrated Product Development (IPD)
- CNC Programming Systems
- Engineering calculations
- Product Information Mangement skills
- Team working organization
DO
- Ability to evaluate and slect technical solutions for maufacturing
- Project development involving CNC machining
- Team work management
Soft skills
- Team working
