Extensive improvements in undergraduate engineering design and manufacturing programs will be implemented. The CAD phase is well under way. This thrust targets the vital expansion of the CAM program through the acquisition of a Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). The proposed system will be integrated with the existing CAD facility to provide a comprehensive undergraduate CAD/CAM capability. Specific goals are to provide undergraduate students with hands-on experience with computer interfacing and control of modern numerically controlled machine tools, robots, and assembly and inspection equipment while exercising CAM and CIM principles and operations. The FMS contains a control station, a mill, a lathe, three robots, tooling for assembly, a continuous conveyor, and vision inspection. A totally new and state-of-the-art dimension will be added to the undergraduate curriculum.

在本科工程设计和制造课程中实施广泛的改进。计算机辅助设计阶段正在顺利进行。这一目标是通过收购柔性制造系统(FMS)来实现CAM计划的重要扩展。拟议的系统将与现有的CAD设施相结合，以提供全面的本科CAD/CAM能力。具体目标是在实践CAM和CIM原理和操作的同时，为本科生提供现代数控机床、机器人、装配和检测设备的计算机接口和控制的实践经验。FMS包括一个控制站、一个磨床、一个车床、三个机器人、装配工装、一个连续传送带和视觉检查。本科课程将增加一个全新的和最先进的维度。
