Exploring Technology
Exploring Technology
Exploring Technology will introduce students to the manufacturing and communication industries. Students will learn about components, processes, products, and the impact of manufacturing and communication systems. Student will be introduced Computer Aided Drafting/Design using CAD/D software for the communication industries. Students will be exposed to manufacturing process using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems. The student will have class time and laboratory activities centered on Computer Aided Drafting (CAD), Computer Numeric Control (CNC), and robotics work stations.

Exploring Tech. Objectives
Exploring Tech. Objectives
Be able to model a part, create an assembly of parts, create a detailed drawing.
Be able to assemble a manufacturing environment.
Be able to create basic NC sequences necessary for material removal.
Be able to use a commercial CAD/CAM software package
Obtain a hands-on experience in computer-aided design and manufacturing through individual and group projects.
Become familiar with the drawing mode as a primary tool for creating detailed drawings of parts and assemblies for documentation.
CAD/D Learning Targets:
Design a part or assembly of parts using Computer-Aided Design software.
Use parametric modeling techniques to reflect engineering requirements.
Apply top-down design principles to model a design.
Make appropriate selection of CAD functionality to use as tools in the design process.
Communicate effectively the geometry and intent of design features.
CNC Learning Targets
Students will identify the main components of a CNC mill and Lathe, power up the machine, and home the X,Y, and Z, axis.
Students will write a basic code using a marker mounted in the spindle to draw letters with straight lines.
Students will create a setup for a CAM operation within Solidworks & Autodesk HSM.
Students will create CAM tool paths for the different operations needed to machine the part.
Students will post-process the setup into code, edit that code, verify the code on a simulator, and then run the program.
