Parallel Workshop Session Topics
All attendees will participate in each of the following workshops:
Computer-Aided Design: Participants will be introduced
to many activities necessary to produce a simple 3-Dimensional Solid
Model using a computer.
Computer-Aided Manufacturing: A computer will be
used to generate and verify a numerical control program. The program
generated will be used to operate and control a computerized CNC machine
tool to produce the student’s product.
Programmable Logic Controllers: Attendees will write
a program that will route a pallet around a conveyor system. The program
will employ symbol-based programming using ladder logic.
Robotics: Students will be introduced to a couple
of common robot programming methods. Programs will be written to pick
and place an object from one location to another.
Workshop Costs
Workshop fees for all applicants selected for the program have been paid
for by the program sponsors. |
Program Sponsors
Purdue University College of Technology Manufacturing
Center - The School of Technology Manufacturing Center was established
in the fall of 1994 to emphasize and coordinate activities associated
with manufacturing within the School of Technology. The Center
two primary activities include the administration of the program of
study entitled Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Technology (CIMT)
and the assistance in the coordination of cross-departmental manufacturing
activities that take place within the School of Technology.
CIMT Program – The Computer Integrated Manufacturing
Technology program is an interdisciplinary program designed to prepare
students for most areas associated with CIM. The curriculum blends
the study of computer, electrical, mechanical and manufacturing systems.
The skills of CIMT graduates enable them to make immediate contributions
in some of today’s most challenging manufacturing environments
as well as to lead and assist their organizations in achieving the
ultimate proficiency of manufacturing resources.
Manufacturing Center Laboratory
This nationally recognized 2,400 square foot facility is divided into four
functional areas that include a 17 workstation computer laboratory, a 1,400 square foot
integrated manufacturing system, a small electronics manufacturing system, and a moderate
size area used for automatic data capture. All areas are equipped with many of the most
current manufacturing technologies available.
