All rights reserved. Prior to the summer of 1995, this lab was operated by the pertoleum engineering program at Louisiana Tech University. In summer 1995, the industrial engineering program gained permission to relocate four of its 486 computers from the computer integrated enterprise lab to this room, and since then, this lab has been shared by both programs. The industrial engineering program will continue to operate this laboratory after the petroleum engineering program completely phase out in 1996, and the lab will be equipped with modern production planning and control software. As of the fall quarter of the 1994-95 term, the college no longer requires Engineering 151 as a part of the common freshman year.
Access is by numeric keypad.
The robots and the NC machines can be operated on a stand-alone basis. The lab also has a separate network of five 486 PCs and a stand-alone multimedia computer. This laboratory contains machine vision equipment to perform automated inspection of industrial components at macro or micro scale. The lab will be used for instruction and research at both undergraduate and graduate level. This laboratory supports four Sun workstations and two IBM PC compatible computers.
