Remote Design/Manufacturing Laboratories

产品在一个地方设计而在另一个地方制造是很常见的。因此，确保设计和制造设施之间有效沟通的系统是必需的。为了让学生能够研究与此问题相关的问题，建议在奥克兰大学工程与计算机科学学院的工程/制造设施与密歇根州伯明翰的Seaholm高中的工业技术设施之间建立联系。连接这些站点的设施将被称为远程设计/制造实验室。拟议的远程设计制造实验室将作为管道，奥克兰大学工程和计算机科学专业的学生使用奥克兰的CIM和AIM实验室，可以与Seaholm高中的学生使用他们的技术设施进行合作。奥克兰的学生将负责产品的工程设计和开发以及自动化制造系统。西霍尔姆的学生将负责技术设计问题，以及在西霍尔姆的技术设施中构建产品和制造系统。在拟议的实验室中进行的项目将以团队为基础，每个团队将分配大学和高中学生。这些项目将强调两个关键因素，这两个因素不同于目前在大学工程/计算机科学或高中技术项目中进行的大多数基于团队的项目。首先，团队将包含不同教育水平、经验和工作描述的成员。第二个主要区别是，团队成员将位于不同的设施，大多数互动都是使用拟议的实验室进行的。

It is common for products to be designed at one location and manufactured at another location(s). Hence, systems to ensure efficient communications between the design and the manufacturing facilities are required. In order to allow students to study the problems associated with this issue, a linkage between the engineering/ manufacturing facilities of Oakland University's School of Engineering and Computer Science and the industrial technology facilities of Seaholm High School in Birmingham, MI is proposed. The facility linking these sites will be called the Remote Design/Manufacturing Laboratories. The proposed Remote DesignlManufacturing laboratories will serve as the conduit in which Oakland University engineering and computer science students using Oakland's CIM and AIM laboratories can work with Seaholm High School students using their technology facilities. Oakland students will be responsible for the engineering design and development of products as well as automated manufacturing systems. The Seaholm students will be responsible for technical design issues as well as constructing the products and manufacturing systems in Seaholm's technology facilities. Projects to be conducted in the proposed laboratories will be team-based, both university and high school students will be assigned to each team. The projects will emphasize two key factors that differ from most current team-based projects conducted in university engineering/computer science or high school technology programs. The first is that the teams will contain members with varying levels of education, experience and job descriptions. The second major difference is that team members will be located at different facilities with most interactions occurring using the proposed laboratories.
