Curriculum Innovation in Distributed Collaborative Manufacturing

该奖项为犹他州州立大学和宾夕法尼亚州州立大学之间的合作提供资金，用于开发分布式协作制造领域的创新课程，包括基于互联网的协作和远程制造。提出了一种新的制造工程专业研究生课程体系。 此外，与这些主题相关的模块将在机械和工业工程专业学生的高级制造工程课程中引入。 本课程是对现有制造课程的必要补充，因为它涉及的主题领域已经彻底改变了全球整个制造业。 不断变化的全球制造环境需要工程机构教育学生相关的新概念/原则，并帮助他们获得技能，使他们能够适应不断变化的制造工作环境。犹他州和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的学生将在创新的“协作”框架下开展校际协作课程项目。 将设计和实施多媒体课程模块、互动学习模块和基于互联网的项目。

This award provides funding for a collaborative effort between Utah State University and Pennsylvania State University for the development of innovative curriculum in the areas of distributed collaborative manufacturing, including Internet based collaboration and remote manufacturing. A new course is proposed for graduate students in manufacturing engineering curriculum programs. In addition, modules related to these topics will be introduced in senior level manufacturing engineering courses for students in mechanical and industrial engineering programs. This course is a needed addition to existing manufacturing courses as it deals with a subject area that has been revolutionizing the entire manufacturing community worldwide. A changing global manufacturing environment necessitates that engineering institutions educate their students in the associated new concepts/principles and help them acquire skills which will enable them to adapt to their changing manufacutring work environments. Students at Utah State and Penn State will work on inter-university collaborative class projects under the framework of an innovative 'Collaboratory'. Multi-media course modules, interactive learning modules and internet based projects will be designed and implemented.
