About
"Production and Manufacturing
Engineering"
The ISE department provides state of the art teaching and research in production and manufacturing
at both the undergraduate and graduate level. The faculty is involved in several research projects
for the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,
Office of Naval Research, NJ Space Grant Consortium and industrial companies. Advanced undergraduate
students and graduate students have an opportunity to work with faculty members on some of their projects.
In both teaching and research, the ISE department addresses such issues as:
-
Applying laser machining in industrial processes.
-
Designing and implementing new technology to reduce manufacturing
costs and increase productivity.
-
Designing Shop Floor control systems using programmable controllers
and computers.
-
Designing enterprise-wide database information systems for manufacturing
control and business processes.
-
Designing manufacturing systems in the batch process industries, especially
food and pharmaceutical industries.
-
Development of workpiece material and friction models for simulation of machining of aerospace alloys
-
Implementing and optimizing layered manufacturing processes.
-
Integrating decision making in manufacturing, production planning
and distribution.
-
Predictive modeling of machining operations, tool wear and surface quality.
