Introduction
The CYBERMAN Education Page is focused on providing manufacturing-related
educational materials. The materials may be used to supplement existing
manufacturing courses or may assist students/engineers in self study. The
CYBERMAN Education Page consists of three sections:
- CYBERMAN Primers: Writeups that provide individuals with basic knowledge
and insights on manufacturing-related topics. The primers include tutorial
type information, graphics, and are updated periodically. Students accessing
these primers may also make use of listings of relevant research papers and
reference texts as well as links to related Web sites for further information.
- Software Testbeds: As part of their reseach activities several
universities have developed software tools to simulate manufacturing process
behavior and attack other manufacturing-related problems. These WWW-based
testbeds include instructions on their use as well as sample testbed inputs
and outputs. It is anticipated that students may use the testbeds and
tutorials as part of their manufacturing course work.
- CYBERMAN Education Chat Room: The chat room provides a forum for students
and engineers to receive answers to their questions about
manufacturing-related topics. It is hoped that the chat room will provide an
excellent opportunity for individuals to hold online discussions about
manufacturing.
The CYBERMAN Education Page has been developed and is being maintained
by the department of Mechanical Engineering at Michigan Technological
University. Comments and additional links for primers are
welcomed.
