About Us
The Research Institute for Manufacturing and Engineering Systems is a research, academic, and services center dedicated to:
- Generating new knowledge in Systems Engineering through it research programs,
- Disseminating new knowledge through its academic programs, publications, workforce development, and industry extension.
- Dissemination of enterprise-wide Systems Engineering best practices for our customers.
- Promote and encourage multi-disciplinary research and collaboration in Engineering Systems.
Our objective includes:
- To facilitate interactions among colleges and industry to foster total systems-level thinking and systems effectiveness.
- To address applications oriented research areas on large-scale systems and systems of systems.
- To advance multi-disciplinary educational programs at the undergraduate (interdisciplinary senior design projects) and graduate level (Certificate Programs, MSE, MSSE) and industry extensions through Training in MPT, Seminars, and Workforce development.
- To research and publish advances in Systems Engineering emerging technologies and practices.
- To stimulate the adoption of standards and best practices for “Extended Manufacturing”, “Enterprise Systems Engineering” and “Lean Engineering” within industries.
Vision and Mission
Vision
The Research Institute for Manufacturing & Engineering Systems will be an internationally recognized model of excellence in industry extension and Systems Engineering research and application.
Mission
The mission of RIMES is to research and promote the use and deployment of current and future, emerging systems engineering methodologies, processes, and tools (MPT) in the design, development, manufacturing, implementation and life cycle management of end-to-end enterprise systems. RIMES will become the El Paso del Norte Center of expertise for the SME Manufacturing Extension Programs.
