Comprehensive Introduction of Computer Aided Engineering, Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing Facilities to the Undergraduate Curriculum in Mechanical Engineering

机械工程专业的学生需要 更多地接触基于计算机的工程系统和 设计、分析、绘图和制造的各个阶段。 这 项目提供了一个集成的计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助 制造软件包，精密图形工作站，以及 数控立式铣床 该测量仪表 作为所需的面向设计的机械工程的一部分 课程和相关选修课。 学生们学习如何 在初始设计阶段逼真地模拟产品性能 然后再进行详细的图纸和制造。 这个项目 创建一个现实生活中的计算机为导向的设计环境， 机械工程专业的学生，并提供基本的教育 其他学科通用的工具。 这一奖励将由受赠方提供同等数额的资金。

The mechanical engineering students at this institution need additional exposure to computer-based engineering system and to the various stages of design, analysis, drafting, and manufacturing. This project provides an integrated computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing software package, precision graphics workstations, and a numerically-controlled vertical milling machine. This instrumentation is used as part of the required design-oriented mechanical engineering courses and associated electives. The students learn how to realistically simulate product performance in the initial design stage before committing to detailed drawings and manufacturing. This project creates a real-life computer-oriented design environment for the mechanical engineering students and make available a basic educational tool for general use in other disciplines. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
