The
Laboratory
for Manufacturing
and Productivity
(LMP),
an interdepartmental
laboratory
in the School
of Engineering,
was established
in 1977
to develop
a scientific
foundation
for manufacturing
and to help
provide
students
with the
advanced
interdisciplinary
training
required
to contribute
to the development
of the modern
manufacturing
environment.
Currently,
15 faculty
and research
staff members,
70 graduate
students,
and 30 undergraduates
conduct research
jointly with
industrial
and government
partners in
the areas
of process
innovation,
flexible automation
and process
control, tribology,
precision
engineering
and design,
design/manufacturing
integration,
and scheduling
and production
planning.
Further
Information: See "Awards
&
Funds" for
