In this module you will be given an introduction to smart manufacturing, the mathematical tools behind it and how it can be applied to real world manufacturing problems.
The teaching style in this module emphasises hands on learning. For example, you will learn how to manipulate a desktop robot to perform automated tasks. The module will build on mathematical and programming skills developed in the first year and modelling of engineering systems in the second year. Assessment in this module is 100% coursework and is based around 2 practical build activities built around real world engineering problems.
