Undergraduate Controls Laboratory

该项目通过引入可编程控制功能，扩展了现有仪器实验室的使用范围。主要设备是8个可编程控制器以及必要的计算机和软件。本实验还使用了许多传感器和相关设备。该设备供工程学三年级和四年级学生学习自动控制的实验方面。他们在没有不适当的电路设计和建造的情况下试验对工艺和机器的控制。这些学生精通当今行业中日益增长的工程领域。这笔奖金将由受赠人支付等额的奖金。

This project extends the use of an existing instrumentation laboratory by incorporating programmable control capability. The major items of equipment are eight programmable controllers with the necessary computers and software. A number of transducers and associated equipment are also used in this lab. The equipment is used by engineering juniors and seniors to study experimental aspects of automatic control. They experiment with control of processes and machines without undue circuitry design and construction. These students gain proficiency in an area of engineering which is in increasing demand in today's industry. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
