Enhancement of an Undergraduate Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory

两个问题导致美国制造业 削弱。 第一，制造企业的经营方式不像 集成系统。 第二，制造业仍然是 缺乏科学的方法。 科学和科学的问题 制造系统的集成必须仔细审查， 制造业教育。 “计算机集成”的研究 制造业”旨在解决这些问题。 该项目利用计算机和网络设备， 软件来完善现有的计算机集成制造 (CIM)实验室 允许使用局域网运行 连接大型机、小型机和微型计算机。 活动 本实验室包括CAD/CAM/CAE。 这使得制造 学生们可以看到他们以前的课程如何与每一个 其他. 本实验介绍连续网络的图像 在CIM系统中。 整合问题、 实施和标准化， 演示。 这笔奖金将由本金支付同等金额 调查机构。

Two problems have cause the American manufacturing industries to weaken. First, manufacturing enterprises are not operated as integrated systems. Second, manufacturing operations are still short of scientific approaches. Issues of the science and the integration of manufacturing systems must be carefully reviewed in manufacturing education. The study of "Computer Integrated Manufacturing" is intended to address the problems. This project utilizes computing and networking equipment and software to refine the existing Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Laboratory. Operation with Local Area Networks permits connection to mainframe, mini and micro computers. Activities in this lab include CAD/CAM/CAE. This enables the manufacturing students to see how their previous courses interact with each other. This lab introduces the picture of a continuous network within a CIM system. Problems of integration, methodologies of implementation, and standardization in manufacturing are demonstrated. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
