A Pneumatic Automation Simulator is developed using pneumatic and               electro-pneumatic elements in the Industrial Engineering Laboratory at          this institution.  The simulator is used primarily in the manufacturing         oriented engineering courses.  It provides practical instruction to             students in the design, test, and microcomputer control of pneumatic            circuits that generate several of the automation functions used in              manufacturing methods and assembly systems.  The most common functions          in the circuit designs are work clamping, release and/or ejection,              orientation, work sequencing and delay.  This instructional facility            also acts as an independent setup for student projects and attracts             industry collaboration with the institution in the continuing                   education of their engineers in the use of pneumatic automation                 systems.                                                                                                                                                           This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
