Manufacturing/Design
About Manufacturing/Design
Studies revolve around design methodology in general and mechanical engineering design techniques in particular. There are applications in machinery and mechanical systems design, the development of new manufacturing techniques, and operation of manufacturing facilities. Areas of concentration include CAD/CAM, diagnostics and controls, tribology, metrology rapid prototyping, robotics and flexible manufacturing, and system integration.
Facilities include the advanced manufacturing laboratory, the design optimization laboratory, the robotics and mechanisms laboratory, and the mechatronics laboratory.
