Education Resources
CICMHE offers a variety of educational resources related to material handling.
These resources are designed for us by educators, students, industry practitioners, or
others desiring resources to support material handling equipment and systems education.
CICMHE has assembled a collection of material handling related case studies. These cases are designed for use in a classroom environment. Most of the cases are in PDF format. They require the Adobe Acrobat reader, which is available for free from Adobe Software. Each case also has a corresponding instructor's supplement.
The Material Handling Multimedia Bank contains a collection of digital slides showing various types of material handling equipment, systems, and interfaces. This database of images and information is organized according to CICMHE's material handling taxonomy.
The lecture resources provide a variety of materials that may be used to support the teaching of material handling topics. The resources can be used "as-is" or can be modified to suit the needs of the user. These materials have been generously provided by leading material handling educators. The materials have not been refereed by CICMHE, and the author is responsible for their content.
The classroom modules provide a self-contained set of materials on selected topics related to material handling. These modules are intended for use in a classroom environment. The modules can be used "as-is" or can be modified to suit the needs of the user.
