Facilities
Manufacturing Automation Laboratory (CoRE 116):
This laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment in CAD/CAM
(Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing) and manufacturing
automation equipment. It includes full scale CNC milling machines, CNC lathe,
Puma, Mitsubishi and Seiko robots, an automated storage and retrieval system, a
material handling carousel, a robot assembly work station, and a wide
arrangement of CAD software including IDEAS and MASTERCAM. CAD stations and
graphics terminals are also available.
Manufacturing Processing Laboratory (CoRE 112):
Basic machine tools such as turning, milling, drilling, grinding and
measuring machines are available to help the student become familiar with
metal-processing operations. The equipment is also used to perform laboratory
experiments in heat treatment, chip formation, tool life, cutting forces,
temperature, chip metallurgy and power consumption.
Microcomputer Laboratory (CoRE 106):
This lab is equipped with state-of-the-art
microcomputers, minicomputers, printers and visual aids. The lab has a large
number of simulation software such as SIMAN, XCELL, GPSS, PROMODEL, and
optimization software LINDO, GINO,...etc. It has software for Quality Control,
Plant Layout, Production Control, Statistical Analysis and text processing. The
lab includes multimedia equipment such as a VCR, video cameras, and recording
and editing software to enable students to make high quality multimedia
presentations. This laboratory is connected to a university-wide
network.
Facilities Design and Productivity Laboratory (CoRE
110):
This laboratory is used for
instruction in the area of plant and facilities layout and design as well as in
the area of materials handling and control. The lab is equipped with belt
conveyors, plant layout prototypes and two and three-dimensional capabilities
for facilities design. CAD stations for designing complex facilities are also
available.
Quality and Reliability Engineering Laboratory (CoRE
114):
This lab is being developed to
allow the students to have hands on experience in actual methods for quality
control and reliability engineering. A variety of software for control charts,
sampling plans and design of experiments is available. The laboratory has a wide
array of materials testing equipment, roundness measurement equipment,
temperature chambers, vibration tests, and failure analysis equipment such as
scanning electronic microscope (SEM) and voltage stressing equipment. LABVIEW
and STATGRAPHICS software are available for student¡¯s use.
Microprocessor Laboratory (WinLAB 101):
This laboratory is located in the WINLAB Building on
Busch Campus. Students learn to use programmable logic controllers (PLC's) and
other electronic and sensor devices to control manufacturing processes and
equipment.
