Unit of study_

AMME6902: Computer Aided Manufacturing

2026 unit information

The aim of this unit of study is to enhance a student's manufacturing engineering skills using advanced Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) as a framework. The unit of study focuses on subtractive; additive, assembly and automation manufacturing processes as applied to a project. The management, planning and marketing of a typical manufacturing engineering project are also discussed. Through integrated project-based learning and hands-on-machine training, students learn how to: successfully complete a scalable manufacturing-based systems project, apply manufacturing management and system skills, product planning, the science in designing and selecting a manufacturing method, how to effectively present ideas and outcomes using a combination of video and report-based methods.
