Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Precision Metrology

工业/大学精密计量合作研究中心(CPM)支持大学研究人员和来自紧公差制造社区的支持伙伴之间的必要凝聚力，以培养下一代制造工程师、测量技术、计量仪器、高效工艺和使能产品，从而促进精密制造的进步，在精密制造中，最先进的尺寸公差是常见的。上述广泛的目标将通过审查工业附属成员与大学教职员工和学生研究人员提出的真实世界与精密制造有关的问题来实现。所解决的问题将具有足够的一般性利益，供工业附属成员在半年一次的会议上投票批准。解决实际问题将为学生提供与当前严格容忍的制造挑战相关的应用教育，并培养出能够在现实环境中解决类似问题的训练有素的员工。

The Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Precision Metrology (CPM) supports the necessary cohesion between university researchers and supporting affilates from the tight-tolerance manufacturing community for the development of the next generation of manufacturing engineers, measurement techniques, metrology instrumentation, efficient processes, and enabling products that will facilitate advances in precision manufacturing where state-of-the-art dimensional tolerances on the order of ten parts per million are common.The above-mentioned broad objective will be realized through the examination of real world precision related manufacturing problems presented by industrial affiliate members in conjunction with university faculty and student researchers. The problems addressed will have sufficient generic interest for industrial affiliate members to approve by vote at semiannual meetings. Addressing real problems will provide the students with an applied education pertinent to current tight-toleranced manufacturing challenges and result in highly-trained employees that can solve similar problems in a real-world environment.
