Implementation and Enhancement of Internet Based Robotics, Automation, and CAD/CAM/CNC in a New Manufacturing Engineering Technology Curriculum

工程-工程技术（58）该项目通过结合最先进的基于互联网的机器人技术、自动化和CAD/CAM/CNC技术，增强了德雷克塞尔新的制造工程技术（MET）课程。 该项目正在利用信息和通信技术发展对生产过程的实时控制，这是创建和部署全球制造企业的一个关键因素。该项目是适应基于互联网的技术，其他学校的工程已经在机器人，CAD，通信和信息管理开发。适应包括爱荷华州大学工业工程的互联网编程、设计和生产、电子商务和先进制造系统;德雷克塞尔大学机械工程的基于传感器的智能过程控制、远程机器人、机器视觉系统和运动控制;亚利桑那州立大学工业工程的电子交易、互联网供应链和网络整合;布拉德利大学工业与制造学院的基于互联网的逆向工程和先进制造以及制造和流程优化中的人工智能;以及西肯塔基州大学制造科学学院的电子制造、精密、基于传感器的制造和自动化以及基于互联网的协作和产品设计。 课程正在调整和新的课程开发，以支持一个新的机电一体化实验室。这为学生提供了不断扩大的电子制造业的当代实践和实践技能。该项目将基于互联网的技术与大费城地区其他大学和社区学院的技术相结合，为学生提供德雷克塞尔正在开发的课程。远程交付使不同教育背景的学生能够发展进入这一新兴技术的劳动力所需的技术技能。该项目的对象是妇女和少数民族学生。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) The project is enhancing Drexel's new Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) curriculum through the incorporation of state-of-the-art Internet based robotics, automation, and CAD/CAM/CNC technology. The project is using information and communication technologies to develop real-time control of production processes, which is a key element in creating and deploying global manufacturing enterprises. The project is adapting Internet based technologies that other schools of engineering have developed in robotics, CAD, communication, and information management. Adaptation includes Internet programming, design and production, E-commerce, and advanced manufacturing systems from Industrial Engineering at the University of Iowa; sensor-based intelligent process control, tele-robotics, and machine vision systems and motion control in Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University; E-transactions, and Internet supply-chain and network integration from Industrial Engineering at Arizona State University; Internet based reverse engineering and advanced manufacturing, and artificial intelligence in manufacturing and process optimization from Industrial and Manufacturing at Bradley University; and E-manufacturing, precision, sensor-based manufacturing and automation, and Internet based collaboration and product design from Manufacturing Sciences at Western Kentucky University. Courses are being restructured and new courses developed to support a new Mechatronics laboratory. This is providing students with contemporary practices and hands-on skills for an expanding e-manufacturing sector. The project is integrating Internet based technologies with those at other universities and community colleges in the Greater Philadelphia Region to provide students access to the curriculum that is being develop at Drexel. Distant delivery is enabling students of diverse educational backgrounds to develop technical skills needed to enter the workforce in this emerging technology. The project is targeting women and minority students.
