CAD/CAM/CNC course framework based on “process-oriented” for Uzbek Higher Education Institutes (HEI’s)
Keywords:
Engineering Education, CAD, CAM, CNCAbstract
Despite the increase of importance, the emerging technologies in the manufacturing industry in the last decades, the role
of the human factor is still necessary for future manufacturing. The skills and qualifications of the workforce will become the
key to the success of a highly innovative digital factory. Therefore, the engineering universities are highly pressured to develop a new
“process-oriented” curriculum to keep up with the rapid changes in other fields, especially, information technology (IT). For this reason, in a continuous effort to develop and incorporate innovative teaching styles in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent (TPUT) a new lab course titled CAD/CAM/CNC has been introduced under MechaUz Erasmus project, wherein the bachelor students are exposed to Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) skills. The main goal of this course is to introduce the knowledge in the area of CAD/CAM technology and its application in computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines. The “process-oriented” project is being developed in order to integrate theory, practice, and laboratory modes. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on CAD/CAM/CNC course designs are surveyed to identify the limitations in traditional teaching on the courses. The current state-of-the-art teaching curriculum of Uzbek technical universities has been studied to define a gap between current teaching techniques and future education requirements. The mechanical CAD/CAM/CNC technology course is oriented to the entire process of the design and manufacturing based on “process-oriented” and after completing this course students cultivate numerical control skills with high quality, innovative ability, and practical ability that meet the needs of enterprises
