Integrated Design Laboratory

工科学生团队将使用新的集成设计实验室，使用现代设计工具设计完整的机器人、越野车或类似项目。他们将使用实体建模、参数设计、现代产品数据库系统、计算机化的项目规划和协调系统以及设计优化工具。计算机科学专业的学生将在典型的网络工作组环境中使用现代CASE工具开发软件项目。他们将探索使用高性能PC计算机系统的现代图形应用程序，使用现代符号计算包试验数值方法，并使用强大的人工智能工具开发专家系统应用程序。地图学专业将使用现代数字地图和数据库技术，包括威斯康星州东南部地区的数字数据库，探索图形信息系统这一新兴领域。新实验室由一个现代化的工作站网络和综合集成的辅助软件系统组成。

Teams of engineering students will use the new Integrated Design Laboratory to design a complete robot, off-road vehicle, or similar project using modern design tools. They will use solid modelling, parametric design, modern product database systems, computerized project planning and coordination systems and design optimization tools. Computer science students will develop software projects, using modern CASE tools in a typical networked workgroup setting. They will explore modern graphics applications with high-performance PC computer systems, and experiment with numerical methods using modern symbolic computation packages, and develop expert system applications with powerful AI tools. Cartography students will explore the emerging field of Graphic Information Systems using modern digital mapping and database techniques, including a digital database for the southeastern Wisconsin area. The new laboratory consists of a network of modern workstations and comprehensive integrated systems of supporting software.
