Course Description		Computer Integrated Manufacturing is one of the specialization courses in the PLTW Engineering program. The course deepens the skills and knowledge of an engineering student within the context of efficiently creating the products all around us. Students build upon their Computer Aided Design (CAD) experience through the use of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. CAM transforms digital design into a program that a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) mill uses to transform a block of raw material into a product designed by a student. Students learn and apply concepts related to integrating robotic systems such as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and robotic arms into manufacturing systems. Throughout the course students learn about manufacturing processes and systems. This course culminates with a capstone project where students design, build, program, and present a manufacturing system model capable of creating a product.
Instructional Topic Headings		History of Manufacturing, Control Systems, Cost of Manufacturing, Designing for Manufacturability, How We Make Things, Product Development, Introduction to Robotic Automation, Introduction to Automation Power, Robotic Programming and Usage, CIM Systems, Integration of Manufacturing
