Integrating High Speed Computer Numerical Control Machining Simulator, Precision Metrology & Machine Tool Calibration & Simulation Systems into Engineering Technology Curri

该项目旨在设计和实施：1）数控机床控制模拟器系统，以增强在线实验室的认知学习方面; 2）计量和质量控制系统的模拟器接口，以增强在线实验室的认知学习方面。 项目活动还包括改进和重新开发七个现有的工业培训模块，涵盖高速数控加工，原型设计，机床校准，精密计量，离线和在线质量控制，加工和机器人装配过程的远程监控和监督，质量保证和计算机辅助设计/加工（CAD/CAM）拟议的项目将增进对学生在实验室学习的认识和理解，这种实验室学习结合了实际和虚拟的组成部分，并通过亲自/现场和互联网进行。该模式有可能改变各个部门劳动力的培训过程，无论其位置如何，以满足相关行业的需求。现有的关于学生学习的知识是项目活动建立的基础，沿着的是在其中一个拟议实验室的试点版本中的经验，学生在实验室练习中报告了高水平的逼真度。在NSF资助结束后，该机构和行业合作伙伴都承诺维持该项目。该培训模式有可能显著降低精密制造的培训成本。该项目将增加机械和工业技术课程的学生和毕业生人数，以满足行业对熟练劳动力的需求。

The project is to design and implement: 1) CNC machine control simulator systems to enhance the cognitive learning aspects of online laboratories; and 2) simulator interfaces for metrology and quality control systems to enhance the cognitive learning aspects of online labs. Project activities also include improving and re-developing seven current industrial training modules covering High Speed CNC machining, prototyping, machine tool calibration, precision metrology, offline and online quality control, remote monitoring and supervision of machining and robotic assembly processes, and quality assurance and computer aided design/machining (CAD/CAM).The proposed project will advance knowledge and understanding of student learning in laboratory experience that combines actual and virtual components and is delivered both in person/on location and through the Internet. The model has the potential to transform the training process for the workforce in various sectors, regardless of their location, to meet the needs of the relevant industries. Existing knowledge about student learning serves as a base upon which the project activity is built, along with experiences in a pilot version of one of the proposed labs in which students reported a high level of verisimilitude in the lab exercises. The commitment to sustain the project after the end of NSF funding comes from both the institution and industry partners.The training model has the potential to significantly lower training costs in precision-manufacturing. The project will increase the number of students and graduates in mechanical and industrial technology programs to meet the industry's demand for a skilled workforce.
