CLIC-Form
愿景
The vision of CLIC-form is to become the premier international center for sheet metal forming education, intellectual property creation, 以及应用研究.
任务
The mission of CLIC-form is to serve the needs of the sheet metal forming industry by:
- Producing “work-ready” engineering graduates
- Developing and assisting with implementation of advanced sheet metal forming technologies
- Upgrading the skills of working professionals through conferences, workshops and classes
- Assemble a core of instructors and consultants to advance metal forming technologies
- Provide a research and development infrastructure for collaborative studies
- Solve real world metal forming challenges through analysis and practical application
Program Candidates: domestic students specializing in:
- Mechanical engineering that have an interest in metal forming and assisting with crucial vehicle weight reduction through product design and implementation, 仿真分析, 和测试;
- Electrical engineering interested in integrating control systems and applying programing technology to automated stamping presses and equipment;
- Industrial engineering looking to improve processes, product quality and everyday operations within a manufacturing environment.
CLIC-form provides training for selected domestic OU undergraduate and graduate students in sheet metal forming technology and equipment, 项目管理, and problem solving to prepare them for future work in manufacturing environment. The educational program at CLIC Form includes the following courses:
ME4900 Fundamentals of Sheet Metal Forming (3 semesters)
ME 5900 Metal Forming Processes
ME 6240 – Mechanics of Metal Forming
Industrial sponsors support the selected students by reimbursing their tuition on Metal Forming classes, hosting their Summer Internships and sponsoring their research and engineering work throughout the academic year.
