- FS 446 - Food Process Automation
|
| |
Practical and descriptive aspects of automatic control of food manufacturing processes. Use of control systems simulation, tuning of control loops, sensors, data acquisition and transmission, simple statistical process control is covered. Students will have hands-on experience in the pilot lab. This course is offered by the CIFM for food science and food manufacturing operations majors. |
- ABE 460 - Sensors and Process Control
|
| |
Fundamental aspects of transducers, biosensors, instrumentation and computer control are presented with particular emphasis on sensors and controls used in agricultural, biological, and food applications. Laboratory and pilot plant scale computer controlled equipment is used to examine response of process variables, sensor calibration, control system modeling, and controller selection and tuning. |
- MFET 243 - Automated Manufacturing I
|
| |
This section of the Food Packaging course presents the theoretical basis of barrier packaging. Topics to be discussed include fundamental concepts of mass transfer with application to the mechanisms of gas diffusion through plastics and their effect on shelf-life. |
- MFET 374 - Manufacturing Integration I
|
| |
The fundamentals of data communications and local area networks are taught in order to show students how to integrate modern manufacturing systems. Emphasis is on the various levels of communications between shop floor computers, PLCs, robots, and automatic identification equipment. Database technology is used as an integration tool. This course prepares students for the MFET capstone course. |
- MFET 400 - Computer Integrated Manufacturing
|
| |
This course will study the technology associated with computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). Conventional manufacturing technologies and methods will be introduced, followed by computer automation and CIM. Course will include computer-aided design (CAD), automated manufacturing processes, integrated manufacturing processes, integrated manufacturing systems, and other related topics. |
- MFET 474 - Manufacturing Integration II
|
| |
Examination of sensors, data acquisition systems, and the fundamentals of control system technology and theory of operation including common industrial sensors, Unterfacing of various sensors to date acquisition systems and collection and monitoring of process data using data acquisition systems. Open loop and closed loop control system fundamentals are addressed. |
- MET 382 - Controls and Instrumentation for Automation
|
| |
Study of the procedures and techniques essential to industrial measurement and transmission of data is provided in the areas of machine control, process control, and automated testing. Concepts of hysteresis, repeatability, weighted signals, span, suppression, rang, and closed loop control are emphasized. | |
