ADMA 340 - Digitally Enhanced Manufacturing

(3 semester hours)
Prerequisites: Permission of the Instructor
Description: The Digitally Enhanced Manufacturing course is an overview of the development design and application of the Internet of things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) for manufacturing. IoT areas of study include data from products delivering data back to the manufacturer, their impact to date, and procedures for making choices of appropriate development and application of the technology as it applies currently and, in the future, based on global awareness and strong moral and ethical standards. AR for manufacturing will include the process needed to augment reality integrating hardware and software into a product that enhances industrial processes as explicit directions for executing a process and/or enhancing processes to provide a safer process execution. General topics of discussion for IoT and AR will include historical application of the technologies and procedures, current applications and procedures, developing processes, techniques and analysis. Lab activities and possibly visitations will be utilized to reinforce concepts. Offered as needed.
