MAEG 5030: Geometry Computing for Design and Manufacturing

Geometric computing tools play a pivotal role in modern product design and realization, forming the backbone of cutting-edge software systems such as Computer-Aided Design (CAD), Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and robotics. This course is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the computational principles that power these systems. Students will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience in developing innovative computational design and manufacturing applications. Key content includes:
- Advanced geometry representation techniques;
- Scanning systems for geometry data acquisition;
- Processing and manipulation of geometric data;
- Algorithms for geometric computing in robotics, digital fabrication, and computational design.

MAEG 4010: Computer-Integrated Manufacturing

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) revolutionizes modern industry by integrating advanced technologies to automate, optimize, and streamline production processes. CIM plays a pivotal role in the ongoing Industrial Revolution, particularly in the transition to Industry 4.0, where connectivity, automation, and data-driven decision-making are key. The use of digital twins—virtual replicas of physical systems—enables real-time monitoring, simulation, and optimization of manufacturing processes. Advantages of CIM include improved productivity, reduced production costs, enhanced precision, flexibility in production, and faster response to market demands. Key content includes:
- Hardware: Sensors/Actuators, and PLC systems;
- ​Software: CAD/CAE/CAM for CIM;
- Economic and Management Systems for CIM;
- Robotics in CIM practice.

Computer-integrated manufacturing: manufacturing approach of using computers to control the entire production process.

Course Project of MAEG 4010

For MAEG 4010, students will work in groups to gain hands-on experience in developing robotic systems (with mechanical components, electronic parts, control systems, and PLC systems).
