NSF Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement: Quality in Manufacturing Laboratory

采取独特的方法来加强理论课程工作 统计过程控制（SPC） 通过引入实验室 使用模拟的实际场景， 过程中，学生将学习的含义，要求， SPC工具的局限性。 制造业的新质量 实验室（QIML）的创建是为了改善我们的学习过程， 质量控制课程。 该项目的主要目标是 为学生提供真实的制造环境， 研究SPC技术的有效性。 实现这一点 通过离散事件模拟与图形显示。 QIML由一套十台学生计算机工作站组成， 教师工作站和以太网本地系统工作站 局域网 学生可以执行各种功能， 他们的工作站通过实验的过程中。 大 屏幕投影仪显示系统的全貌， 学生们对这个问题保持着广泛的观点。 实验包括过程能力，SPC监控， 实验设计、验收抽样和总交互作用。 该设备提供了教师和 学生以及学生之间。

A unique approach is taken for enhancing theoretical course work in statistical process control (SPC). By introducing laboratory work into the course using simulated scenarios of actual processes, students will learn the implication, demands, and constraints of SPC tools . A new Quality in Manufacturing Laboratory (QIML) is created to improve the learning process in our quality control course. The primary goal of this project is to provide a realistic manufacturing environment for students to investigate the effectiveness of SPC techniques. This is achieved through discrete event simulation with a graphics display. The QIML consists of a set of ten student computer workstations, instructor workstation, and system station on an Ethernet local area network. Students can perform a variety of functions at their workstation through the course of the experiment. A large screen projector displays an overall picture of the system so that students maintain a wide-scope perspective on the problem. Experiments include process capability, SPC monitoring, experimental design, acceptance sampling, and total interaction. The equipment provides for interaction between the instructor and students as well as among students.
