Incorporating a Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratoryinto the Engineering Technology Curriculum

计算机集成制造(CIM)实验室为工程技术专业的学生提供健全的教育，这些领域构成了几乎所有工业和商业分支的主要塑造因素。CIM实验室所需的设备包括小型CIM系统、计算机设备和统计过程控制测量仪器。该设备与现有的机器人设备集成在一起，以生产教学仪器，并成为多门课程的组成部分，如机器人和计算机集成制造概论、工业系统仿真、统计质量控制、生产计划、工厂布局、材料处理、生产率测量和改进以及自动化与计算机集成制造。

The computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) laboratory provides Engineering Technology students with a sound education in areas which constitute a major shaping factor in virtually all branches of industry and business. The equipment required in the CIM laboratory includes a mini-CIM system, computer equipment, and statistical process control gauging instrument. This equipment is integrated with existing robotics facilities to produce a teaching instrument and an integral part of several courses such as Introduction to Robotics and Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Industrial Systems Simulation, Statistical Quality Control, Production Planning, Plant Layout, Materials Handling, Productivity Measurement and Improvement, and Automation & Computer Integrated Manufacturing.
