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. |
