Implementation and Enhancement of Internet Based Robotics, Automation, and CAD/CAM/CNC in a New Manufacturing Engineering Technology Curriculum

工程-工程技术(58)该项目通过整合最先进的基于互联网的机器人技术、自动化和CAD/CAM/CNC技术来增强Drexel的新制造工程技术(MET)课程。该项目正在利用信息和通信技术开发对生产过程的实时控制，这是创建和部署全球制造企业的关键要素。该项目正在采用其他工程学院在机器人学、CAD、通信和信息管理方面开发的基于互联网的技术。这些领域包括：爱荷华大学工业工程专业的互联网编程、设计与生产、电子商务和先进制造系统；德雷克塞尔大学机械工程专业的基于传感器的智能过程控制、远程机器人、机器视觉系统和运动控制；亚利桑那州立大学工业工程专业的电子交易、互联网供应链和网络集成；布拉德利大学工业与制造业专业的基于互联网的逆向工程、先进制造、人工智能和流程优化；以及西肯塔基大学制造科学专业的电子制造、精密、基于传感器的制造和自动化、以及基于互联网的协作和产品设计。正在对课程进行重组，并开发新的课程，以支持新的机电一体化实验室。这将为不断扩大的电子制造部门的学生提供当代实践和实践技能。该项目将基于互联网的技术与大费城地区其他大学和社区学院的技术相结合，为学生提供访问Drexel正在开发的课程的机会。远程教学使不同教育背景的学生能够发展进入这一新兴技术大军所需的技术技能。该项目针对的是女性和少数族裔学生。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) The project is enhancing Drexel's new Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) curriculum through the incorporation of state-of-the-art Internet based robotics, automation, and CAD/CAM/CNC technology. The project is using information and communication technologies to develop real-time control of production processes, which is a key element in creating and deploying global manufacturing enterprises. The project is adapting Internet based technologies that other schools of engineering have developed in robotics, CAD, communication, and information management. Adaptation includes Internet programming, design and production, E-commerce, and advanced manufacturing systems from Industrial Engineering at the University of Iowa; sensor-based intelligent process control, tele-robotics, and machine vision systems and motion control in Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University; E-transactions, and Internet supply-chain and network integration from Industrial Engineering at Arizona State University; Internet based reverse engineering and advanced manufacturing, and artificial intelligence in manufacturing and process optimization from Industrial and Manufacturing at Bradley University; and E-manufacturing, precision, sensor-based manufacturing and automation, and Internet based collaboration and product design from Manufacturing Sciences at Western Kentucky University. Courses are being restructured and new courses developed to support a new Mechatronics laboratory. This is providing students with contemporary practices and hands-on skills for an expanding e-manufacturing sector. The project is integrating Internet based technologies with those at other universities and community colleges in the Greater Philadelphia Region to provide students access to the curriculum that is being develop at Drexel. Distant delivery is enabling students of diverse educational backgrounds to develop technical skills needed to enter the workforce in this emerging technology. The project is targeting women and minority students.
