Abafundi basebenzisa amathuluzi ahlukahlukene ngaphakathi kwe-Kremer Innovation Center ukuze bakhe ama-prototypes ephrojekthi kanye nezingxenye zamaqembu okuncintisana.
Idizayini entsha yobunjiniyela nelabhorethri - i-Kremer Innovation Center - ihlinzeka ngamathuba kubafundi base-Rose-Hulman ukuze bathuthukise ulwazi lwabo lwezemfundo olusebenzisanayo.
Izinto zokwakha, amaphrinta e-3D, amahubhu omoya namathuluzi okuhlaziya ubukhulu atholakala ku-KIC atholakala kalula kubafundi abasebenza emaqenjini okuncintisana, amaphrojekthi okuklama amatshe amakhulu kanye nasemakilasini obunjiniyela bemishini.
Isikhungo esingu-13,800-square-foot u-Richard J. kanye no-Shirley J. Kremer Innovation Centre esivulwe ekuqaleni kwekota yezifundo yasebusika ka-2018-19 futhi sanikezelwa ngo-April 3. Saqanjwa ukuze kuhlonishwe isisa sabashadikazi kulesi sikhungo.
URichard Kremer, owabe engumfundi wobunjiniyela bamakhemikhali wango-1958, uqhubekile nokuqala i-FutureX Industries Inc., inkampani ekhiqizayo e-Bloomingdale, e-Indiana, esebenza ngokukhethekile ekukhipheni ipulasitiki ngokwezifiso.Le nkampani ikhule phakathi neminyaka engama-42 edlule ukuze ibe ngumhlinzeki oholayo wezinto zokwakha zepulasitiki ezimbonini zezokuthutha, zokunyathelisa kanye nezokukhiqiza.
Itholakala ohlangothini olusempumalanga yekhampasi, eduzane ne-Branam Innovation Center, lesi sikhungo siye sandisa futhi sathuthukisa amathuba okuqamba kanye nokuhlola.
UMongameli we-Rose-Hulman u-Robert A. Coons uthi, “I-Kremer Innovation Centre inikeza abafundi bethu amakhono, ulwazi kanye nengqondo ukuze badlale indima ebalulekile ekuthuthukiseni intuthuko yesikhathi esizayo ezuzisa zonke izindawo zokuphila kwethu.U-Richard nempumelelo yakhe emsebenzini uyizibonelo ezinhle kakhulu zezimiso ezibalulekile zalesi sikhungo emsebenzini;amanani aqhubeka enikeza isisekelo esiqinile sempumelelo yamanje neyesikhathi esizayo kaRose-Hulman nabafundi bethu.”
I-KIC ihlinzeka ngezinto zokusebenza ezisetshenziswa abafundi ukuze bakhe ama-prototypes edivayisi kumaphrojekthi ahlukahlukene.Irutha ye-CNC ku-Fabrication Lab (ebizwa ngokuthi “I-Fab Lab”) isika izingxenye ezinkulu zegwebu nokhuni ukuze yakhe izingxenye eziphambanayo zezimoto zamaqembu emijaho.Umshini wejethi wamanzi, izinto zokusika izinkuni kanye ne-tabletop entsha ye-CNC router shape metal, ipulasitiki ewugqinsi, ukhuni nengilazi kube izingxenye eziwusizo zazo zonke izimo nosayizi.
Amaphrinta amaningana e-3D amasha maduzane azovumela abafundi ukuthi bathathe imiklamo yabo ebhodini lokudweba (noma esikrinini sekhompuyutha) baye ekwenziweni bese kuba yisiteji se-prototype - isigaba sokuqala somjikelezo wokukhiqiza wanoma iyiphi iphrojekthi yobunjiniyela, kuphawula uBill Kline, umqondisi we-innovation kanye noprofesa. yokuphatha ubunjiniyela.
Lesi sakhiwo siphinde sibe neLabhorethri entsha ye-Thermofluids, eyaziwa ngokuthi i-Wet Lab, enomzila wamanzi nezinye izinto ezivumela oprofesa bonjiniyela bemishini ukuba bakhe ulwazi lokuhlaziya oluncane emakilasini abo oketshezi, olufundiswa emakilasini aseduze.
“Lena ilabhorethri yoketshezi esezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu,” kusho uprofesa ohlanganyele wobunjiniyela bemishini uMichael Moorhead, owabonisana ngokuklama izici ze-KIC.“Esikwazi ukukwenza lapha bekuzoba yinselelo enkulu phambilini.Manje, uma (osolwazi) becabanga ukuthi isibonelo sokusebenzisana singasiza ekuqiniseni umqondo wokufundisa kumakhenikha oketshezi, bangangena kwamakhelwane basebenzise lo mqondo.”
Amanye amakilasi asebenzisa izikhala zemfundo ahlanganisa izihloko ezifana ne-theoretical aerodynamics, isingeniso sokuklama, amasistimu okuhambisa umoya, ukuhlaziya ukukhathala kanye nokusha.
U-Rose-Hulman Provost u-Anne Houtman uthi, “Ukuhlangana ndawonye kwamagumbi okufundela kanye nendawo yephrojekthi kusekela ubuhlakani ekuhlanganiseni imisebenzi eyenziwayo ekufundiseni kwabo.Futhi, i-KIC iyasisiza ukuthi sihlukanise amaphrojekthi amakhulu, amabi kunamancane, 'ahlanzekile'.”
Maphakathi ne-KIC kunelebhu yomenzi, lapho abafundi becikoza futhi bathuthukise imibono yokuqamba.Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindawo zokusebenza ezivulekile kanye negumbi lenkomfa zisetshenziswa imini yonke nobusuku ngamaqembu ahlukahlukene okuncintisana abambisana kuyo yonke imikhakha.Kwengezwa isitudiyo sokuklama sonyaka wesikole ka-2019-20 ukuze kusekelwe abafundi abenza umsebenzi omkhulu wokwakha ubunjiniyela, uhlelo olusha olungezwe kukharikhulamu yango-2018.
“Konke esikwenzayo ukusebenzela kangcono abafundi bethu,” kusho uKline.“Sibeke endaweni evulekile singazi ngempela ukuthi abafundi bazoyisebenzisa yini.Eqinisweni, abafundi basanda kungena kuso futhi isibe ngesinye sezindawo ezidumile esakhiweni.”
