Other problems included control system limitations, difficulty maintaining apreset tire load, and premature failure of some components that were not as durable asexpected.CTI approached LSSU in early 2000 to assist with a redesign of the tester to address theissues stated above. This subsequent partnering between CTI and LSSU involved thehiring of a mechanical engineering faculty member, LSSU’s ME laboratory engineer, andseveral students, as well as the temporary use of LSSU’s Mechanical EngineeringLaboratory shop to perform the modifications. The redesign, shown in Figure 2 below,resulted in approximately 700 man-hours of faculty time, over 100 man-hours of labengineer time, and over 100 man-hours of

More and more research is being undertaken in the laboratories of French colleges using equipment and funding from industry. This is a relatively recent phenomenon in the Grandes Ecoles but is proving to be a fertile breeding-ground for all those involved (industrialists, faculty, Ph.D. students and final-year students).

There is considerable pressure fromindustry to increase meaningful experience through internships during the college training period. The experi-ence gained during such industrial employment has been shown to have a positive influence in a number ofareas.

The important point here isthat these twelve had never heard of injection molding and had never been exposed to design forinjection molding concepts.
