Integration of the Property/Processing/Part Design Interaction into the Design Experience in Plastics Engineering Technology

基本的塑料工程技术学士学位课程的理念，毕业生应该准备在进入塑料行业产生积极的影响。 这需要在塑料材料，设计和加工方面拥有工程技术技能，毕业生还必须准备开发和提出新的想法。 作为学习计划的基石，学生使用领先的计算机技术，包括实体成型，有限元分析，模具流动，模具冷却和聚合物流动;有全面的实验室经验，从而了解加工机械的操作和适当的加工条件，以生产高质量的零件;需要开发和范围的工程项目;并在他们的同行和专业人士面前展示项目。 该项目的目标是开发一个国家模型，用于适当整合塑料机械性能的相互作用、加工对机械性能的影响以及部件设计与整体部件性能的关系。 为了实现这一目标，有必要获得仪器化的穿刺冲击测试系统。 使用这一设备的理由是，新设备的使用方式具有创新性。 *

Basic to the philosophy of the Plastics Engineering Technology bachelors degree program, a graduating student should be prepared to make a positive impact upon entering the plastics industry. This requires possessing engineering technology skills in plastics materials, design, and processing, and the graduate must also be prepared to develop and present new ideas. As a cornerstone to the program of study, the students use leading-edge computer technologies, including solid molding, finite element analysis, mold flow, mold cooling, and polymer flow; have a comprehensive laboratory experience resulting in an understanding of the operation of processing machinery and proper processing conditions to produce high-quality parts; are required to develop and range an engineering project; and present the project before their peers and professionals in their field. The object of this project is to develop a national model for the appropriate integration of the interaction of the mechanical properties of a plastic, the effect of processing on mechanical properties, and the relationship of part design to overall part performance. It is necessary to obtain an instrumented puncture impact testing system to accomplish this goal. The justification for this equipment is based on the innovative way in which the new equipment is used. *
