Abafundi basebenzisa izixhobo ezahlukeneyo ngaphakathi kwiZiko le-Kremer Innovation ukwenza iiprototypes zeprojekthi kunye neenxalenye zamaqela okhuphiswano.
Uyilo olutsha lobunjineli kunye nesakhiwo selabhoratri - iZiko le-Kremer Innovation - libonelela ngamathuba kubafundi baseRose-Hulman ukuba baphucule izandla zabo, amava emfundo entsebenziswano.
Izixhobo zokwenziwa, iiprinta ze-3D, iitonela zomoya kunye nezixhobo zokuhlalutya ezinobukhulu ezifumanekayo kwi-KIC zifikeleleka lula kubafundi abasebenza kumaqela okhuphiswano, iiprojekthi zoyilo lwamatye kunye nakumagumbi okufundela obunjineli ngoomatshini.
I-13,800-square-foot-foot uRichard J. kunye noShirley J. Kremer Innovation Centre eyavulwa ekuqaleni kwekota yezifundo zasebusika ze-2018-19 kwaye yanikezelwa ngo-Aprili 3. Yathiywa igama lokuhlonipha i-philanthropy yesi sibini kwiziko.
URichard Kremer, owayengumfundi wobunjineli bemichiza ngo-1958, uye waqalisa ukuqalisa i-FutureX Industries Inc., inkampani yokuvelisa e-Bloomingdale, e-Indiana, egxile kwi-extrusion yeplastiki yesiko.Inkampani iye yakhula kule minyaka ingama-42 idlulileyo ukuze ibe ngumboneleli ohamba phambili wempahla yeplastiki kwimizi-mveliso yothutho, yoshicilelo kunye neyokuvelisa.
Ifumaneka kwicala elingasempuma lekhampasi, emelene neZiko leBranam Innovation Centre, eli ziko liye landa kwaye landisa amathuba okwenza izinto ezintsha kunye nokulinga.
UMongameli uRose-Hulman uRobert A. Coons uthi, “Iziko le-Kremer Innovation linika abafundi bethu izakhono, amava kunye neengqondo ukuze badlale indima ephambili ekuphuhliseni inkqubela phambili yexesha elizayo ezuzisa zonke iinkalo zobomi bethu.URichard kunye nempumelelo yakhe kwikhondo lomsebenzi yimizekelo ebalaseleyo yeemfundiso ezisisiseko zeli ziko emsebenzini;Ixabiso eliqhubekayo libonelela ngesiseko esiluqilima kwimpumelelo yangoku neyekamva kaRose-Hulman kunye nabafundi bethu. "
I-KIC ibonelela ngezixhobo ezisetyenziswa ngabafundi ukwenza iiprototypes zesixhobo kwiiprojekthi ezahlukeneyo.I-router ye-CNC kwi-Fabrication Lab (ebizwa ngokuba yi-"Fab Lab") inqumla amacandelo amakhulu ogwebu kunye neenkuni ukwenza amacandelo anqamlezayo ezithuthi zamaqela omdyarho.Umatshini wejethi wamanzi, izixhobo zokusika iinkuni kunye ne-tabletop entsha ye-CNC yomzila wentsimbi, iplastiki engqingqwa, umthi kunye neglasi kwiindawo eziluncedo kuzo zonke iimilo kunye nobukhulu.
Abashicileli abaliqela abatsha be-3D kungekudala baya kuvumela abafundi ukuba bathathe uyilo lwabo kwibhodi yomzobo (okanye isikrini sekhompyuter) ukuya kwimveliso kunye nenqanaba leprototype-inqanaba lokuqala kumjikelo wemveliso yayo nayiphi na iprojekthi yobunjineli, uphawula uBill Kline, udibanisi we-innovation kunye nonjingalwazi. kulawulo lobunjineli.
Esi sakhiwo sikwanayo neThermofluids Laboratory entsha, eyaziwa ngokuba yiWet Lab, enomjelo wamanzi kunye nezinye izixhobo ezivumela oonjingalwazi bobunjineli boomatshini ukuba bakhe amava ocazululo olunomlinganiselo kwiiklasi zabo zolwelo, ezifundiswa kumagumbi okufundela akufuphi.
“Le yilabhoratri yolwelo ekumgangatho ophezulu kakhulu,” utsho unjingalwazi oncedisana nobunjineli boomatshini uMichael Moorhead, owacebisana ngokuyila iimpawu zeKIC.“Into esikwaziyo ukuyenza apha ibinomngeni kakhulu ngaphambili.Ngoku, ukuba (oonjingalwazi) bacinga ukuba umzekelo osebenza ngezandla unganceda ukuqinisa ingcamango yokufundisa kubuchwephesha bolwelo, banokungena kumnyango olandelayo bawusebenzise lo mbono.”
Ezinye iiklasi ezisebenzisa izithuba zemfundo zigubungela izihloko ezifana nethiyori ye-aerodynamics, intshayelelo yoyilo, iisistim zokuqhubela phambili, uhlalutyo lokudinwa kunye nokutsha.
U-Rose-Hulman Provost u-Anne Houtman uthi, “Ukudityaniswa kwendawo yokufundela kunye nendawo yeprojekthi kuxhasa ifakhalthi ekubandakanyeni izinto ezenziwa ngezandla kumyalelo wabo.Kwakhona, i-KIC iyasinceda ukuba sahlule iiprojekthi ezinkulu, ezimdaka kwezincinci, 'ezicocekileyo'.”
Embindini we-KIC yilebhu yomenzi, apho abafundi bacinga kwaye baphuhlise imibono yokuyila.Ukongeza, iindawo zokusebenza ezivulekileyo kunye negumbi lenkomfa zisetyenziswa imini nobusuku ngamaqela ahlukeneyo okhuphiswano asebenzisanayo kuzo zonke iinkalo.Isitudiyo soyilo siyongezwa ukulungiselela unyaka wesikolo ka-2019-20 ukuxhasa abafundi abaphambili kuyilo lobunjineli, inkqubo entsha eyongezwe kwikharityhulamu ka-2018.
“Yonke into esiyenzayo kukusebenzela ngcono abafundi bethu,” utshilo uKline.“Sibeke indawo evulekileyo kwaye besingazi ukuba abafundi bazoyisebenzisa na.Ngapha koko, abafundi bangene kuyo kwaye iye yaba yenye yezona ndawo zidumileyo kwesi sakhiwo. ”
