Saturday 8:00am - 1:00pm
This course will provide procedures for creating a Handling PRO virtual workcell. When completed, the workcell created will contain a FANUC (Fuji Automatic Numerical Control) robot with end-of-arm tooling, one or more fixtures for holding a part and a robot TPP (Teach Pendant Programming) which moves the part from one fixture to the other.

Required Texts:
- FANUC HandlingTool Operations and Programming Manual (provided via FANUC Academy)
Software:
- FANUC ROBOGUIDE (provided in lab environment)
Supplies:
- Safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1 rated)

Lab Assignments: Provided by the instructor
Student achievement during the classroom portion of the course will be evaluated through Chapter Review Quizzes, laboratory activities, a Post-Test, and a Final Project.
Achievement in the laboratory component will be assessed based on the accuracy and completeness of laboratory reports, as well as the development and demonstration of hands-on skills through assigned manipulative tasks. Laboratory quizzes and a comprehensive laboratory final examination may also be administered.
NOTE: The following evaluation method may be modified by the instructor as required. Letter grades are determined by the following percentage:
93 – 100 = A 85 – 92 = B 78 – 84 = C 71 – 77 = D 70 and BELOW = F
Grading for this class will be based on the following:
| Category | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Assignments | 25% |
| Labs | 25% |
| Post Test | 20% |
| Final Project | 30% |
Total | 100% |
Remember: The instructor doesn’t “GIVE” grades! You EARN your grade!

Attendance:
If a student has missed more class hours than the number of credit hours to be earned in the class, the instructor may record the grade of "F" for the course. Missed classes may not be made up without prior permission from the instructor. Failure of the student to attend class does not constitute withdrawal.
Some important information provided during the lecture/discussions does not appear in your textbook, but you will find it useful for completing your assignments or exams. It is the student’s responsibility to obtain handouts and information presented for any class for which (s)he is absent from fellow students or the instructor.
Late Assignments:
A deduction of 5% per day late will be assessed after the due date for all assigned course work.
Lab assignments are due at the end of the class on the week after they are assigned.
Quiz Policy:
If you cannot attend class to take a quiz, you must notify the instructor prior to the start time of the class. You must notify the instructor by phone, email, or in-person. You must make advance arrangements to makeup the quiz. The date and time of the make-up quiz must be mutually agreed to by the instructor and student. All make-up quizzes must be completed within seven days after the scheduled quiz; otherwise, the student will receive a zero for the quiz. Instructor reserves the right to provide a different make-up quiz. Any student missing a quiz without notifying the instructor in advance will receive a grade of zero for the quiz.
Lab Policy:
Students will be required to purchase basic components and/or tools used for laboratory experiments.
School code requires that safety glasses or some other APPROVED form of eye protection be worn in the laboratory at all times. There willbe NO exceptions!
