Control System Design and Automation Laboratory

UMR的电气工程课程正在经历重大重组，需要额外的控制系统实验室实验。对于控制专业的本科EE学生，我们需要在控制系统设计的理论和实践方面提供全面的教育：1。基于工作站的综合控制系统设计制造自动化3。此外，我们需要为非EE学生和非控制专业的EE学生提供制造自动化课程。目前的实验室设备远远不能满足这些目标。本建议所要求的设备是实现这些目标的第一步。该设备支持的设备实验室实验是我们的毕业生在工业中遇到的问题类型的缩小版本。本方案的创新之处在于：1。计算机辅助工程（CAE）概念介绍。2. 在本科课程中介绍制造自动化。3. 使用商业过程控制设备和一个规模的过程控制工厂。

The electrical engineering curriculum at UMR is experiencing a major restructuring that requires additional control system laboratory experiments. For undergraduate EE students specializing in control, we need to provide a well-rounded education in the theory and practice of control system design in the areas of: 1. Workstation-based integrated control system design 2. Manufacturing automation 3. Process control In addition, we need to provide manufacturing automation courses for non-EE students and for EE students not specializing in control. The current laboratory equipment is woefully inadequate to meet these goals. The equipment requested in this proposal represents the first step toward meeting these goals. The equipment laboratory experiments supported by this equipment are scaled- down versions of the types of problems our graduates encounter in industry. The innovative features of this proposal are: 1. Introduction of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) concepts to undergraduate control student. 2. Introduction of manufacturing automation in the undergraduate curriculum. 3. Use of commercial process control equipment and a scale process plant teach control.
