Introduction Of Laboratory

Functions Of This Laboratory:

1. The Procedural Level Of Mechanical Product Design And Manufacturing

It can integrate upstream training courses like Mechanical And Mechanism Analysis, Conceptual Design Of Product Development, Prototype Design And Evaluation Of Midstream Products, Process Planning And Simulation, and downstream training courses like Traditional Cutting Processing, And Assembly Product Testing, etc. Therefore, this laboratory is the basic of computer-aided engineering design and an important contact for the integration of production automation.

2. The Lever Of Computer Integrated Manufacturing System

Provide students with relevant knowledge courses on automated manufacturing systems, combined with product production management and manufacturing management, and provide students with the design, analysis, integration, and planning of modern manufacturing systems, and become integrated talents in e-Industry.

Teaching Plans:

1. Use practical cases to teach students to build physical product models, use the models for CAE analysis, and generate analysis data for continued research and development of improved design products.
2. Using collaborative teaching and special topics to make students understand the needs of CAD/CAM/CAE in the industry.
3. Through the industry-university cooperation plan, students and manufacturers can coordinate and train each other to increase their employment skills.
4. Through the training of skills certification, implement the certification system, cultivate students’ practical skills, and enhance the competitiveness of employment and workplace.

Future Planning Of The Laboratory:

1. Continue research the CAD/CAM system, understand the talents needed by the industry, and cultivate the students needed by the industry.
2. Counsel and encourage students to obtain certificates and licenses, so as to become more familiar with CAD/CAM/CAE R&D technology and enhance social competitiveness.
3. Cooperate with industrial upgrading, strengthen the function of industry-university cooperation, set up promotion education courses, make full use of equipment, and enhance students’ R&D process technology ability and level.
