ISE 370 – Industrial Automation
Industrial and Systems Engineering
Fall 2013 4 credits
CRN 10756
Description: Industrial automation is a major field in the application of computer controls and the many
advances in computer systems. The objectives of this course are to: demonstrate the ability to design
systems for automating processes in manufacturing, demonstrate problem-solving skills in automation,
and to “safely” use the machines in the engineering laboratory to complete designated experiments.
Lectures and laboratories include exploring the use of sensors, industrial robotics, numerical control,
programmable logic controllers, machine vision, electrical circuits and the fundamentals of common
electrical devices, the implementation of online computer control, and the ability to use industrial
technical software including Pro-Engineer and AutoCAD. Laboratory work and technical reports are
required. Prerequisites: junior standing in ISE or consent of department chair.

Unless you are told to work in teams all work is expected to be of your own achievement. Team
members will receive the same grade on shared projects and are not allowed to share designs or
completed materials with other teams.
Laboratory Topics:
AutoCAD to design (1) mechanical parts and (2) manufacturing floor plans.
Pro-Engineer to design 3D part assemblies.
CNC milling machine to produce specialized parts.
Electronic Packaging (MPM stencil printer & Camalot liquid adhesive dispensing system).
Heller Reflow Oven to study the heating stages of circuit boards in electronic packaging.
Brown & Sharpe Co-ordinate Inspection System to measure print parameters.
Allen-Bradley Micrologix 1000 PLC for programming PLCs to control machines and processes.
National Instruments IMAQ Vision for developing and analyzing machine vision systems.
