Computer Integrated Manufacturing Outreach Laboratory

工程-工程技术(58)在与地区制造企业的合作下，确定了作为制造系统管理计划一部分的计算机集成制造(CIM)高级研究的需求。该项目的主要目标是调整、开发和实施一个示范课程，使学生成为制造技术人员，了解制造环境中的系统集成和远程人机界面。计算机集成制造扩展实验室(CIMOL)是为满足行业对更高技能的管理劳动力的需求而开发的，具有基于Web的远程交付能力。CIMOL采用综合方法开发课程，包括六个学术部门的跨学科参与。学生参与开发和创建用于远程控制CIMOL的图形用户界面。多个可复制的课程模块被调整和开发，以提供本科制造技术员教育。该项目采用了来自NSF赞助的AIM中心的示范材料，并增加了一个使用新兴监控和数据采集(SCADA)技术的创新组件。基于Web的图形用户界面的使用使包括地理位置偏远的不同学生群体接触到先进的制造设备和设施。现有的教育伙伴关系通过现有的Ozarks制造业教育中心以及通过格林伍德实验学校等K-12机构和斯普林菲尔德发现中心等科学中心建立的新伙伴关系得到加强。

Engineering - Engineering Technology (58)In collaboration with regional manufacturing businesses, needs for advanced studies in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) as part of the Manufacturing Systems Management program are identified. The primary goal of the project is to adapt, develop, and implement a model curriculum to prepare students as manufacturing technologists to understand systems integration, and remote human machine interface in a manufacturing environment. Computer Integrated Manufacturing Outreach Laboratory (CIMOL), with the capacity for web based remote delivery, is developed to meet the need for a higher skilled management workforce in the industry. CIMOL uses an integrated approach to curriculum development and includes interdisciplinary involvement from six academic departments. Students participate in laboratory development and creation of the graphical user interface for the remote control of CIMOL. Multiple reproducible curriculum modules are adapted and developed for the delivery of an undergraduate manufacturing technologist education. Project adapts exemplary materials from the NSF sponsored AIM Center and adds an innovative component using emerging Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) technologies. The use of web based graphical user interface exposes a diverse population of students, including geographically remote locations, to advanced manufacturing equipment and facilities. Existing educational partnerships are strengthened through the existing Ozarks Manufacturing Education Center and the creation of new partnerships through K-12 institutions such as the Greenwood Laboratory School and science centers such as the Discovery Center of Springfield.
