Enhancement of Mechanical Engineering Manufacturing Processes and Computer Numerically Controlled Machining Laboratory at Southern University

9451296 Diwan美国的工业部门重申，如果美国要继续成为世界技术领先者，并在市场上保持竞争力，就必须大力追求产品质量、可靠性和成本控制。这再次唤醒了对面向设计和生产的工程教育的新重视。该项目建议通过增加计算机数控机床来加强路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日南方大学的制造实验室和课程。拟议的设备将使教师能够：为本科生提供反映制造业技术进步的优质培训机会和技能；开发新的计算机辅助设计和计算机辅助制造-CAD/CAM实验室课程；进一步为工程和技术本科生以及计算机科学研究生开发强大的制造选项；加强课程设置，为学生提供实践经验，并熟悉他们将在行业中使用的设备；以及加强南方大学为路易斯安那州和美国少数族裔的工程和科学教育目标做出巨大贡献的能力。

9451296 Diwan The nation's industrial sectors are reiterating the fact that product quality, reliability and cost containment must be vigorously pursued if the United States will continue to be the world's technological leader, and also remain competitive in the market place. This has reawakened a new emphasis on engineering education geared towards design and production. This project proposes to enhance the manufacturing laboratory and curriculum of Southern University at Baton Rouge, Louisiana by adding Computer Numerically Controlled machines. The proposed equipment would enable the faculty: to provide undergraduate students with quality training opportunities and skills that reflect the technological advances in the manufacturing industry; to develop new laboratory courses in computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing - CAD/CAM; to take a step further in developing a strong manufacturing option for undergraduate Engineering and Technology students as well as graduate students in computer science; to strengthen the curriculum, offer students hands-on practical experience, and a familiarity with equipment they will use in the industry; and to enhance the capacity of Southern University to contribute immensely towards the engineering and science educational goals for minorities in Louisiana, and the United States.
