Faculty Early Career Development: Development of an Integrated Environment for Surface Mount Device Technology Assembly

在电子工业中，组件是如此的小和精致，以至于制造需要自动化系统，但矛盾的是，一个人检查组件的视觉。这个学院早期职业发展奖的研究和教育部分将集中在这个问题上。本研究开发了一种集成的工程方法来组装和检测表面贴装器件（SMD）。任务是：将检查程序生成制定为马尔可夫决策问题，开发物理分布式灵活检查系统，以及使用神经网络技术进行诊断和过程控制，并非常关注SMD制造。教育重点补充了研究，包括本科生，指导和本科生招生，以及新课程。教育计划虽然与集成电子制造有关，但范围更广。它将开发三门课程，其中一门是创业课程，将包括来自工业界的成功榜样，以灌输产品到市场的精神。首席研究员计划继续他的活动，让学生参与应用研究，为本科生和研究生提供建议，并花时间招募本科生，这些都是一个全面发展的教员的标志。研究和教育计划有很大可能改善技术和工程资源基础。教育项目在学生的全面发展方面是强有力的。＊＊＊

9502897 Villalobos In the electronics industry, components are so small and delicate that manufacturing requires automation systems, but the paradox is that a person inspects components visually. This Faculty Early Career Development award's research and educational components will focus on this problem. This research develops an integrated engineering approach to assembly and inspection of surface mounted devices (SMD's). The tasks are: inspection routine generation formulated as a Markov decision problem, development of a physical distributed flexible inspection system, and use of neural network technology for diagnostics and process control, and a very focused on SMD manufacture. The educational focus complements the research, involving undergraduates, advising and undergraduate student recruitment, in addition to new courses. The education plan, while tied to integrated electronics manufacture, is broader in its scope. It will develop three courses, one of which is an entrepreneurship course that will include successful role models from industry to instill the product-to-market spirit. The principal investigator plans to continue his activity with student involvement in applied research, advising undergraduates and graduates, and spending time recruiting undergraduate students, all the marks of a well-rounded faculty member. The research and educational plans have a high probability of improving the technology and engineering resource base. The educational program is strong in student development in a total way. ***
