AB  - This work-in-progress paper presents the continuous efforts to design and develop project-based course materials that integrate CAD, AM, CAM, and CNC machine tools into a Manufacturing Processes and Machining Technology course sequence. Hands-on projects implementing CAD software for parts design and analysis, AM technologies for rapid-prototyping, CAM software for developing manufacturing strategies, CNC machine tools for manufacturing functional prototypes with various practical applications are being designed. Related instructional materials and lab processes are also being developed. As required core courses for Bachelor of Science (BS) in Manufacturing Engineering Technology, these courses expose students to various manufacturing processes with an emphasis on modern computer numerical controlled processes and equipment and tools used. By teaming students into workgroups, these courses also emphasize developing the students' skills to apply theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems requiring critical thinking.

The Manufacturing Processes is a sophomore-level introductory course exposing students to modern industrial manufacturing methods and equipment focusing on the CAD/AM/CAM/CNC processes using different materials such as polymers, woods, and metals. The primary goal is to provide an overview of product development methods, including fundamental concepts such as feed and speed and their effects on the finished product, fixture and cutting tools, machining methods and processes such as 2D milling operations, and related equipment such as CNC milling machine. Instructional materials with hands-on activities are developed using equipment including 3D printers (based on FDM, SLA, and MJ technologies from Makerbot, Formlab, and Stratasys), a tabletop single tool milling machine, and a CO2 and fiber dual-source laser cutter/engraver. Students are first required to apply previous knowledge and skills to develop 3D models for components and systems satisfying predefined restrictions and requirements. Students will also be required to create assembly models for engineering analysis, such as motion study,  and 2D engineering drawing with detailed specifications. They will then be introduced to AM technologies and required to build and test working prototypes of the designed components. Finally, students are presented with the fundamentals of machining processes with application to developing G-Code for and running the tabletop milling machine to build prototypes using a customized 2D milling CAM software custom-designed for the milling machine. Students start with simple examples such as a waste board and clamp for T-bolt to learn basic milling operations, including contour, pocket, and drilling. They will then be required to modify the 2D drawings of components considering manufacturability and available tools for prototype development using the tabletop milling machine. Students will also learn to use the laser cutter/engraver to cut and engrave materials and components.

Instructional materials with lab activities for Machining Technology, a follow-up course focusing on CNC milling and turning operations, are also being developed. CAM software, coordinate system setting, tool path design, G/M code design, canned operations, etc., educational materials will be designed, developed, and implemented in this course using three-axis CNC milling and turning centers equipped with multiple tools.
