Mori Seiki University has launched Education On Demand, which applies e-learning to manufacturing. Courses are divided between general manufacturing topics and the operation and mastery of specific Mori Seiki machines.
The machine-based courses employ interactive, 3-D digital machines. During training, students operate these machine models as they would real, physical machines. This immersive "virtual learning" environment helps keep students interested in the courses while improving their retention of the material presented.
To offer the most flexibility, all courses can be started at a student's specific level of expertise and experience. Individuals also move at their own pace throughout the program. Comprehensive tests follow each section of a course and students must score 100% to proceed.
In addition to machine-specific courses, classes are also offered on general manufacturing topics. Some of these include lean manufacturing, metrology, manufacturing math, statistical process control and blueprint reading. The course methodologies were developed in conjunction with the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology and the School of Information Technology.
