Applied Research in Advanced Manufacturing: Establishing a Metrology Lab

为响应行业需求，本意见书建议购买设备(150,000美元)，以创建计量实验室，以支持在先进制造工艺中应用测量。计量实验室将设在塞尔柯克学院最先进的银王校区，将补充塞尔柯克学院最近启动的价值200万美元的NSERC资助的先进制造业创新增强研究计划和价值50万美元的相关研究基础设施。计量实验室还将补充现有的工业贸易课程，以及塞尔柯克学院新的数字制造和设计课程。拟议的设备也是对塞尔柯克学院拟议的以先进制造为重点的技术接入中心的补充。包括最近在银王园区合租的D-Pace在内的行业合作伙伴，已经明确要求建立一个计量实验室，以支持大学-行业项目的扩张。

In response to industry demand, this submission proposes the purchase of equipment ($150,000) to create a Metrology Lab to support the application of measurement in advanced manufacturing processes. The Metrology Lab, to be located in Selkirk College's state of the art Silver King campus, will be complementary to Selkirk College's recently launched $2 million NSERC-funded advanced manufacturing Innovation Enhancement research program and related research infrastructure valued at $500,000. The Metrology Lab will also complement existing industry trades programs, as well as a new Digital Fabrication and Design program at Selkirk College. The proposed equipment is also complementary to Selkirk College's proposed advanced manufacturing focused Technology Access Centre. Industry partners, including D-Pace who have recently co-located on the Silver King campus, have asked specifically for the establishment of a Metrology Lab to support the expansion of college-industry projects.
