Teaching
VT Fire as a Teaching Facility
-
Design courses for architecture
students, building and construction students, including
graduate level study program
-
Casting and process courses
for engineering students
-
Provide young engineers
with hands-on knowledge of the capabilities and limitations
of metal castings
-
Industry short courses
and distance learning (AFS)
-
AFS training courses:
distance courses broadcast from CMI with hands-on component
in the facility
-
Facility would serve as
tool for recruiting students to the Materials Science
and Engineering Department and to the metal casting industry
-
Studio facility for art
