Integrated Manufacturing Systems

9451529戴维斯·切斯特菲尔德-万宝路技术学院是一所规模较小(有1,020名学生)的农村两年制学院，从事副学士学位水平的技术员教育，该学院建议通过开发集成制造系统实验室课程来改进其机床技术教学方法。新课程将提供一个以模块化集成制造单元为中心的实验室环境，允许学生在应用冶金、精密测量、统计过程控制、机器人、金属加工、计算机数控和可编程逻辑控制器理论等领域进行实验并发展科学和技术技能，以任何集成形式模拟现代制造的交互式、基于过程的技术。虽然学院目前教授上述个人技能，但学生没有机会在现代生产环境中典型的协作、一体化结构中应用这些技术的实验和项目。开发拟议课程所需的设备包括一个实验室规模的计算机集成制造单元，以及一台用于过程输入和统计过程控制数据分析的个人计算机，以及两台计算机输出设备。

9451529 Davis Chesterfield-Marlboro Technical College, a small (1,020-student), rural two-year college engaged in technician education at the Associate degree level, proposes to improve its approach to Machine Tool Technology instruction through the development of a laboratory course in Integrated Manufacturing Systems. The new course will provide a laboratory environment centered around a modular integrated manufacturing cell, permitting students to perform experiments and develop scientific and technical skills in the fields of applied metallurgy, precision measurement, statistical process control, robotics, metalworking, computer numerical control, and programmable logic controller theory in any integrated format which simulates the interactive, process-based technology of modern manufacturing. While the college presently teaches the individual skills described above, there is no opportunity for students to perform experiments and projects which apply these techniques in the collaborative, integrative structure which is typical of a modern production environment. The equipment required to develop the proposed course includes a lab-scale Computer Integrated Manufacturing cell, together with a personal computer for process input and statistical process control data analysis, and two computer output devices.
