One such area of the curriculum is CAD/CAM and CNC. In this paper wewill review some important advances in technology in this area that are being integrated into amanufacturing engineering curriculum. These include CAM part programming using sophisticatedtool path generation capabilities that promote high speed and high efficiency machining,programming multi-axis machining operations, the use of various measurement techniques toquantify variation and efficiency of CNC operations, and the use of advanced simulation andverification techniques to develop insight into and

The adoption of a dynamometer andaccelerometer enriches the curriculum in our Manufacturing Automation course. In that course,we have one chapter introducing analog sensors to students. Nevertheless, we previously focusedon low cost sensors such as thermocouple and RTD due to restriction of equipment, a dynamometercost approximately $65k to $70k, and an accelerometer costs from $700 to $2000.
