Remote Design/Manufacturing Laboratories

产品通常在一个地点设计，在另一个地点制造。因此，需要确保设计和制造设施之间的有效通信的系统。为了让学生研究与这个问题相关的问题，奥克兰大学的工程和计算机科学学院的工程/制造设施和工业技术设施的Seaholm高中伯明翰，MI之间的联系被提出。连接这些地点的设施将被称为远程设计/制造实验室。 拟议中的远程设计制造实验室将作为渠道，奥克兰大学工程和计算机科学的学生使用奥克兰的CIM和AIM实验室可以与海霍尔姆高中学生使用他们的技术设施。奥克兰的学生将负责产品的工程设计和开发以及自动化制造系统。Seaholm的学生将负责技术设计问题，以及在Seaholm的技术设施中构建产品和制造系统。 在拟议的实验室进行的项目将以团队为基础，大学和高中学生将被分配到每个团队。这些项目将强调两个关键因素，这两个因素与目前在大学工程/计算机科学或高中技术课程中进行的大多数基于团队的项目不同。第一，小组成员的教育程度、经验和职务说明各不相同。第二个主要区别是，团队成员将位于不同的设施，大多数互动都是在拟议的实验室进行的。

It is common for products to be designed at one location and manufactured at another location(s). Hence, systems to ensure efficient communications between the design and the manufacturing facilities are required. In order to allow students to study the problems associated with this issue, a linkage between the engineering/ manufacturing facilities of Oakland University's School of Engineering and Computer Science and the industrial technology facilities of Seaholm High School in Birmingham, MI is proposed. The facility linking these sites will be called the Remote Design/Manufacturing Laboratories. The proposed Remote DesignlManufacturing laboratories will serve as the conduit in which Oakland University engineering and computer science students using Oakland's CIM and AIM laboratories can work with Seaholm High School students using their technology facilities. Oakland students will be responsible for the engineering design and development of products as well as automated manufacturing systems. The Seaholm students will be responsible for technical design issues as well as constructing the products and manufacturing systems in Seaholm's technology facilities. Projects to be conducted in the proposed laboratories will be team-based, both university and high school students will be assigned to each team. The projects will emphasize two key factors that differ from most current team-based projects conducted in university engineering/computer science or high school technology programs. The first is that the teams will contain members with varying levels of education, experience and job descriptions. The second major difference is that team members will be located at different facilities with most interactions occurring using the proposed laboratories.
