Use 3D models, data standards, visualization, and mixed reality to support design, manufacture and service throughout the product lifecycle.
Digital Enterprise Systems Major
A major in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program
in the School of Engineering Technology
Modern product manufacturing is increasingly supported by data-driven design, production and support throughout a product’s lifecycle. With a major in digital enterprise systems, you will use the latest tools to effectively communicate and support each step in the product’s lifecycle.
In your classes, you will define, build, and visualize 3D models to demonstrate how products are built, how they are made, and how they are serviced and supported. You will develop simulations and visualizations to demonstrate and validate how products function. Your work will be done primarily with product lifecycle management (PLM) software tools for simulation, computer-aided design (CAD), and product data management (PDM). To gain relevant experience, you will have the opportunity to work in industry and be an integral part of teams that implement and utilize these technologies.
The foundation of virtual product integration is the use of digital representations of a product. They are created using trusted processes focused on information technology and how the product is used. In the workforce, digital data and the data stream make the workflow for design, manufacturing, collaboration and sustainment more efficient.
You will join others students in our digital enterprise systems degree program who design data workflows and data flow processes to communicate product information throughout the product lifecycle to those people who need it. In addition, your work can be used to develop new software tools or to modify and extend existing software tools.
