Undergraduate Laboratory Improvement in Computer Integrated Manufacturing

这个实验室改进计划涉及工程专业的学生， 全方位的计算机集成制造，从CAD到 CAM阶段通过一个专门的实验室设施。 计划中的设施将实现两个目标： 关键先进制造技术，以及 基本工程和科学概念及其应用 一个真实的工程系统。 实验室设施围绕 全仪表化计算机数控（CNC）加工中心 支持四个相互交织的领域的实验，即（1） 基本物理量的测量与分析（2） 制造工艺、方法和设备;（3）分析和 在制造系统中使用的伺服系统的合成，和（4） 数控原理，计算机数控， 计量学 预计该设施提供的能力将 深刻影响教育质量的四个核心课程， 在制造业中新引入的选项。

This laboratory improvement program involves engineering students in the full spectrum of computer integrated manufacturing from the CAD to the CAM phase through a dedicated experimental laboratory facility. The planned facility would fulfill two objectives: introduction of key advanced manufacturing technologies, and investigation of fundamental engineering and scientific concepts and their application to a real engineering system. The laboratory facility centers around a fully-instrumented computer numerical control (CNC) machining center that supports experiments in four interwoven areas, namely, (1) measurement and analysis of basic physical quantities, (2) manufacturing processes, methods and equipment, (3) analysis and synthesis of servosystems used in manufacturing systems, and (4) principles of numerical control, computer numerical control, and metrology. It is anticipated that the capabilities offered by this facility would profoundly impact the quality of education in four core courses in the newly-introduced option in manufacturing.
