Research Project Sponsored by
This project,
Curriculum Innovation in Distributed Collaborative Manufacturing,
focuses on the development of new undergraduate and graduate course modules
in modern areas of manufacturing, which will benefit manufacturing, industrial
and mechanical engineering students.
As a part of this project, comprehensive
teaching materials on computer control in manufacturing will be developed
and made available on-line. The posted material will enable a person interested
in the domain of computer-integrated manufacturing obtain information
regarding different aspects regarding modeling architectures for computer
control, process planning, issues related to discrete part manufacturing
and control, and implementation.
The online lessons and tutorials have been developed to suit two different
needs: (i) A comprehensive understanding of the topics can be obtained
by pursuing the detailed "trails" provided or (ii) Key
topics have been presented in a "class lecture" (slide shows)
format with suggested additional reading. Quizzes and self-learning modules
emphasizing creativity and providing a challenging learning environment
will be made available using this website.
In due course, it will be possible to monitor the progress of inter-university
undergraduate and graduate student projects via this website. Please
use the below link to see a complete list of the different modules
that will be developed in this project.
