Automated Surface Defect Inspection – Drew Schiltz, Zeiss Industrial Quality Solutions INTRODUCTION Current universal methods for quality control of surface defects largely rely on the human visual inspection process which is notoriously subjective, unrepeatable and unreliable. The implementation may look slightly different across various industries, but the overarching process remains the same; the visual inspector […]

Scrum for Hardware and Systems – Dr. David G. Ullman and Dr. Joshua Tarbutton, UNC Charlotte The Scrum Agile framework has had a significant impact on the design of software. It has cut the number of failed projects in industry nearly in half. It is now being applied to the design of hardware and systems. […]

Evaluation of flexure mechanism motion constraints during design (Part I and II) – Dr. Stuart Smith, UNC Charlotte; Dr Kumar Arumugam, NIST; and Dr. Marijn Nijenhuis, University of Twente Part I: Review of flexure mechanisms – a mobility perspective Part II: Interactive web application for mobility visualization using flexible multibody analysis Flexures are found in stages and mechanisms […]

Diamond Machining of Freeform Optics – Dr. Matt Davies, University of North Carolina at Charlotte Freeform optics are a revolutionary technology in the optics industry moving away from the centuries-old design principals based on optics with an axis of symmetry either on or off the optic.  Freeform shapes allow a nearly arbitrary redirection of light […]

Emerging Nanofabrication Technologies – S.V. Sreenivasan, University of Texas at Austin Nanolithography Introduction, e-beam, and photolithography Self-assembly techniques – block copolymers, nanosphere self-assembly Soft lithography, thermal embossing, and UV nanoimprint lithography Nanoimprint fundamentals Wafer scale, stepper, and roll-to-roll nanoimprint Template/master fabrication Applications Pattern transfer Introduction to wet etch, dry etch Reactive ion etching basics Deep […]

Systems Engineering 1 & 2 Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles. At its core, systems engineering utilizes systems thinking principles to organize this body of knowledge.” This is what Wikipedia says about SE. While SE […]

Principles of Precision Machine Tool Design – Mark Stocker, Cranfield Precision, Division of Fives Landis Ltd. The tutorial will be based upon Prof. Pat McKeown’s Eleven Principles and Techniques of Precision Machine Design and will primarily use examples from ultra-precision machines designed and manufactured by Cranfield Precision over the past 30+ years. The tutorial will […]
