Larry Hayhurst, Dr. Susan Finger, Dr. Howie Choset, Dr. Jim Antaki and others are working to create a collaborative machining center with manual machine tools, CNC machine tools, state of the art metrology, robots and rapid prototype machines. The center will be tailored toward student participation. The goal of the center is to foster in students the ability to solve problems independently. Collaboration with industrial partners will provide student with real-world experiences and practical skills. The relationships formed in the process will help retain students in the region after graduation.
