Collaborative Research: AWARE -- International Linkages of Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems on Web-Enabled and Tether-free Technologies

0219792Lee该奖项支持智能维护系统中心(IMS)与中国、香港、日本、韩国和澳大利亚的对应中心/实验室之间为期三年的合作研究和教育计划。IMS是威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校和密歇根大学安娜堡分校之间的NSF多校区产业/大学合作研究中心。该中心专注于支持网络的技术和预测智能，以使产品和制造系统实现接近零停机时间的性能。IMS正在与政府、行业和国际机构合作，开发一项基于Web的制造、维护和服务教育、培训和研究计划。通过该奖项支持的从中心到中心的国际项目，IMS将推动a)全面、多学科和高度协作的研究议程，b)跨大学教育课程，c)虚拟学生研究团队，d)为美国学生提供全球教育体验。该计划的一个关键要素将是安排美国本科生和研究生在外国合作实验室实习，在IMS研究议程中不可或缺的研究项目上进行合作。对于有竞争力的制造公司来说，新的基准是向专注于集成产品设计、制造和服务的电子智能的基于网络的工程的范式转变。这些转变需要新一代的领导人、工程师和科学家，他们在全球环境中具有国际敏锐性和对技术、社会、经济和文化问题的知识。

0219792LeeThis award supports a three-year collaborative research and education program between the Center for Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS) and counterpart centers/laboratories in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Australia. IMS is an NSF multi-campus Industry/University Cooperative Research Center between the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. The Center is focused on web-enabled technologies and predictive intelligence to enable products and manufacturing systems to achieve near-zero-downtime performance. IMS is developing a Web-enabled Manufacturing, Maintenance and Service Education, Training and Research Program in partnership with government, industry, and international institutions. Through the international center-to-center projects supported by this award, IMS will advance a) a comprehensive, multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research agenda, b) a cross-university educational curricula, c) virtual student research teams, and d) global educational experiences for American students. A critical element of the program will be the placement of U.S. undergraduate and graduate students in internships in the foreign partner laboratories to collaborate on research projects that are an integral part of the IMS research agenda.The new benchmark for competitive manufacturing companies is a paradigm shift to web-enabled engineering focused on e-intelligence for integrated product design, manufacturing and service. These transformations require a new breed of leaders, engineers and scientists who are internationally astute and knowledgeable in technical, social, economical and cultural issues in a global environment.
