This project develops an integrated laboratory to facilitate undergraduate instruction in the complete design through manufacturing process. The new laboratory consists of three interconnected subsystems. The manufacturing subsystem includes computer numerical control (CNC) machines and robotic assembly stations. This equipment strengthens instruction in modern manufacturing processes and reinforces the importance of manufacturability in design. The design subsystem consists of new graphic workstations that support computer-aided design and manufacturing (CADM) instruction at the advanced undergraduate level. The integration subsystem consists of a new computer workstation server with local area network connections to the new manufacturing and design subsystems as well as to existing Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and Controls laboratory resources. The server provides a shared platform for computationally intensive elements of CADM. Undergraduate student instruction is expanded and enhanced in a number of ways. Experience with the demands of agile manufacturing systems with autonomous control is provided. The concept of concurrent engineering design is reinforced by providing interdisciplinary interaction in an integrated laboratory environment. The advantages of distributed processing for rapid prototyping, modification, and design porting is supported by hands-on experience.

该项目开发了一个综合实验室，以促进本科生从设计到制造过程的教学。 新实验室由三个相互关联的子系统组成。 制造子系统包括计算机数控（CNC）机器和机器人装配站。 该设备加强了现代制造工艺的指导，并强调了设计中可制造性的重要性。 设计子系统由新的图形工作站组成，支持高级本科水平的计算机辅助设计和制造 (CADM) 教学。 集成子系统由一个新的计算机工作站服务器组成，该服务器通过局域网连接到新的制造和设计子系统以及现有的计算机辅助工程（CAE）和控制实验室资源。 服务器为 CADM 的计算密集型元素提供共享平台。 本科生教学通过多种方式得到扩展和加强。 提供满足具有自主控制的敏捷制造系统需求的经验。 通过在集成实验室环境中提供跨学科互动，并行工程设计的概念得到了加强。 分布式处理在快速原型制作、修改和设计移植方面的优势得到了实践经验的支持。
