CAREER: Metrology in Manufacturing Research and Education

该职业奖将研究制造科学与技术中与计量相关的研究问题，重点是坐标测量机（CMM）。它将通过引入几何尺寸和公差（GD&amp；T）课程来加强制造教育计划，并辅以新开发的计量实验室。研究目标是开发一种评估三坐标测量机测量不确定度的方法，以便设计补偿和采样策略，以提高精密尺寸测量的准确性和生产率。由于竞争需要精密的产品，所以计量学和gd&t的教育课程对于培养工程师来说非常重要，他们不仅关注质量，而且具有如何实现精度的经验。首席研究员曾与美国国家标准与技术研究所以及布朗和夏普公司在精密计量方面进行过合作，此次合作将随着该奖项的颁发而扩大。这个项目展示了研究和教育方面的创新和合作。这项工作的结果有可能提高三坐标测量机的精度和生产率，教育成分将增强设计和制造高质量精密产品所需的人力基础设施。

9624966 Shen This CAREER award will investigate the research issues associated with metrology in manufacturing science and technology, with emphasis on coordinate measuring machines (CMM). It will enhance the manufacturing education program with the introduction of a geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) curriculum, complemented by a newly developed metrology laboratory. The research objectives are to develop a methodology for assessing uncertainties in CMM measurements, so that compensation and sampling strategies can be designed to improve the accuracy and productivity of precision dimensional measurement. Because competition demands precision products, the educational component's curriculum for metrology and GD&T is important for developing engineers with not only a quality focus, but with experience on how to achieve precision. The principal investigator has a record of collaborating with the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Brown and Sharpe on precision metrology, and this collaboration will expand with this award. This project shows innovation and collaboration in research and education. Results from this work have the potential to increase the accuracy and productivity of coordinate measuring machines, and the educational component will enhance the human infrastructure needed to design and manufacture quality precision products.
