the process of designing application programs startsfrom the individual module development through extensive testing, verification, andmodification. Applying these developed modules in a useful manner requires the links andintegrations that lead to the practical project implementation. Frequently, in students’ seniorproject designs and faculty’s research plans, the microprocessor/microcontroller resourcesbecome scarce or cause conflicts during the modules’ integration stage. To accommodate the shortfall of the resources and resolve any conflict state, severalchoices must be considered, such as the need to revise or totally rework the module, or apply themodule with additional circuit design.

Prerequisite: ENGT 4130 (3rd AM course) & ENGT 4850 (Computer-Integrated Mfg) This is a capstone project driven course. Using role play in a company organization setting, students will apply knowledge learned in other courses to go through market search, product design, and production, ending with a final product made with AM technology. Through the course students will learn or enhance teamwork, interpersonal, social, and leadership skills. Page 22.673.3 Table 1. Manufacturing Curriculum Check Sheet
