Engineering Research Center for Net Shape Manufacturing

俄亥俄州州立大学将建立净成形制造工程研究中心，致力于完善零件净成形制造工程知识库。该中心的目标是通过改善工程知识基础和培训净形制造工艺的工程师来提高美国工业的竞争地位。该中心的研究计划将寻求整合零件设计，材料选择，工艺选择，设计和控制。将与工业界合作选择、实施和监测具体项目。本科教育将通过荣誉研究和研讨会，合作教育和暑期实习纳入中心。研究生教育将侧重于硕士和博士课程，并提供企业命名的奖学金，以提高美国公民对这些课程的参与。学生还将在参与公司的研究设施中花费一些时间。该中心还将通过一个由俄亥俄州学院和大学组成的联盟来扩大其教育影响力。

Ohio State University will establish and Engineering Research Center for Net Shape Manufacturing to focus on improving the engineering knowledge base for net shape manufacturing of parts. The goal of the Center is to enhance the competitive position of U.S. industry through improvement of the engineering knowledge base and training of engineers in net shape manufacturing processes. The Center's research program will seek to integrate part design, material selection, and process selection, design, and control. Specific projects will be selected, pursued, and monitored in collaboration with industry. Undergraduate education will be included in the Center through honors research and seminars, cooperative education, and summer internships. Graduate education will focus upon master's and doctorate programs, with corporate-named fellowships to improve the participation of U.S. citizens in the programs. Students will also spend some time on location in the research facilities of participating companies. The Center will also extend its educational influence through a consortium of Ohio colleges and universities with manufacturing programs.
