Learning Activities: Lectures, Readings, Laboratory Experiments, Discussions/Assignments, Small Group Work Course Topics Numerical Control Manual Assembly Lines Manufacturing Operations Industrial Control Systems Automated Production Lines Automated Assembly Systems Single-Station Manufacturing Cells Introduction to Manufacturing Systems Cellular Manufacturing Inspection Technologies Flexible Manufacturing Systems Inspection Principles and Practices Production Planning and Control Systems Process Planning and Concurrent Engineering Product Design and CAD/CAM in Production Systems Required Resources: Mikell P. Groover, 2015, Automation, Production Systems, and Computer-Integrated Manufacturing, 4th ed., Pearson/Prentice Hall. Recommended Resources: Lecture notes, Manufacturers Literature; Online Help for the software; Assessment of Student Performance: 1. The final grade in this course will be computed based on the following elements. At all times the Red Deer College final examinations policy will be adhered to. 1. Assignments (2) Weighting: 15% 2. Quiz(4) Weighting: 10% Could be in multiple choice or very short answers 3. Laboratory Experiments(5) Weighting: 30% Will be based on preparation for the lab sessions, problem solving, professional and safe implementation of assigned experiments, professional reporting and analysis of the proceedings and observations, and final lab exam.

4. Midterm Exam Weighting: 20% 5. Final Exam Weighting: 25% Grading System: The following conversion table will be used in determining the final grades: Percentage Grade Description 96-100 A+ 90-95.99 A Excellent Performance 85-89.99 A- 80-84.99 B+ 76-79.99 B Good Performance 72-75.99 B- 68-71.99 C+ 64-67.99 C Satisfactory Performance 60-63.99 C- 55-59.99 D+ Pass 50-54.99 D 0-49.99 F Fail Midterm Feedback: Midterm course feedback will be available (upon appointment) from the instructor following the midpoint mark of the course. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their instructor regarding cumulative academic performance below 2.0 (grade of C). The RDC Final Examination Policy will be followed with respect to Final Examinations. Please review this document to ensure you understand the contents and implications of the policy. The Final Examination Policy is available on the RDC Policies website. Attendance requirements: The faculty of the Department believe that students are committed to their program and learning experiences. However, it is understood that there are times when students may be absent from those experiences. Any absence can be viewed as a potentially serious disruption of the learning process and necessary achievement of the learning objectives. Attendance is required in all labs. Any student who, due to extenuating circumstances, will be late or absent for a lab must notify the instructor at least one hour prior to the beginning of the lab. Failure to notify the instructor indicates a serious breach of professional and ethical conduct. Valid documentation for missing any assessment will be required. In most cases, make up activities will not be available. Page 2 of 5
Late or missed deliverables: Late deliverables (assignments, reports, etc.) will not be accepted and will earn a grade of zero. Missed exams will normally be awarded a mark of zero unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. Students will be advised in class of timelines for assignments and other assessments. It is their responsibility to ensure awareness of these timelines. Normally a medical certificate will be required to justify any extensions. If a student has to miss a class for any reason, it will be the student's responsibility to obtain notes, handouts, announcements, etc. It is best to obtain copies of the missed material from a peer (their notes contain extra details and comments). Academic Misconduct: Please become familiar with what constitutes academic misconduct, as well as the consequences. Plagiarism involves submitting work in a course as if it were the student s own work. Plagiarism may involve the act of submitting work in which some or all of the phrasing, ideas, or line of reasoning are alleged to be the submitter s own but in fact were created by someone else. The complete policies are available on the RDC Policies website: Appeals: Formal Policy, Appeals: Informal Resolution Policy and Student Misconduct: Academic and Non-Academic Policy. While students are encouraged to help each other, assignments must be of original work and individual effort (unless explicitly designated otherwise such as group assignments). In cases of obvious plagiarism, a grade of zero will be awarded for any of the parties involved. Repeat instances of plagiarism will automatically receive a final grade of zero (hence course failure). Please refer to the College policy regarding student dishonesty for additional information. Students are expected to attend all lectures and labs. Extra assistance may only be granted to students who regularly attend all classes. Lack of attendance may impact the students ability to successfully complete the course. Content delivered in this course are the property of their creator(s) and may not be reproduced/distributed without express written permission of the creator(s). Changes to the Course Outline: Changes to the course outline will be made with the consent of the course instructor and students. Changes will be reviewed by the Department Chairperson for consistency with College policies. Important Dates: First day of classes for Winter term 2016.
