MEGR 7090/8090 - 003: Digital Manufacturing

Graduate | Fall 2023

Digital manufacturing is an integrated manufacturing approach that leverages computer-based technologies to enhance the efficiency of manufacturing operations and to improve the quality of products and services. As an integrated approach it links systems and processes across all areas, from design to production and on the maintenance and support of the end products. Examples of such computer-based technologies are: Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, Cloud Computing, Advanced Robotics, Additive Manufacturing, and Digital Twin. Digital Manufacturing technologies contributes for the fourth industrial revolution also be called Industry 4.0.

This course on Digital Manufacturing provides students with the opportunity to acquire the fundamental knowledge of computer-based technologies used in manufacturing, and to prepare them for the implementation of such technologies in the industry. Therefore, the students will be better prepared to address the present and future manufacturing challenges, thus to be succeed in today's competitive business market.
