INDUSTRIAL SEMINAR
6 (2-8)
Students will work as a team under the instructor’s supervision.
The students will choose a product to manufacture, select the
equipment needed for manufacturing, program the CNC
equipment, procure materials, calculate payroll, perform a project
cost analysis, design, and build necessary fixtures, prototype and
manufacture the product, and provide comprehensive
documentation of the product. This course allows the student to
be creative in applying his or her skills and knowledge toward the
