variety of colors, optical properties, and textures. In particular, smooth and flat,reflective features such as the touchscreen are especially challenging to capture digitally from thephysical object.Our initial method for creating high fidelity scans was 3D scanning (Figure 6a). Scanning can beused to create life-sized 3D models that include realistic colors and textures. However, thescanner we had access to, the Sense 2 from 3D Systems, struggled to retain tracking on the flatsurfaces of the tablet components. The resolution produced by the scanner was also lacking.When 3D scanning was unsuccessful, we pivoted to photogrammetry. Photogrammetry has beenused successfully to create 3D reconstructions of real world objects for digital

thesetechnologies. The two columns of data reflect participant group preferences. Thus, the first row(under Autonomous Robots) in Table 2, “Programming”, was among the top five selections for34% of the manufacturers and 52% of the college faculty.The plan for the data analysis was to address the five questions summarized in Table 3. The orderof the questions in the table does reflect the analysis progression through the aggregated data.Thus, the first order of events was to determine the popular skill selections for manufacturers andeducators. Once those selection percentages were reviewed, the degree of popularity by groupwas explored. After reviewing aggregated responses, the fourteen skills were grouped based ondifferences between the manufacturers’ and

of an Arduino-based modular structure and possible use of self-configuration. This paper includes the detailedsketch of the development efforts, engineering students’ reflections on the development project,design and delivery of the high school workshop including high school student feedback, andpossible future college level curricular designs for modular industrial robotics for industrial,mechanical, and manufacturing engineering programs. The paper is concluded with future workconcepts including possible kinematics and dynamics modeling of these industrial robotconfigurations through simulation tools such as DELMIA or MapleSIM, along with use ofmachine learning for self-configuration.BackgroundThe modular robot is a fairly new type

Fall 2020 semester, were evaluated alone. There was no “stronglydisagree” in the 3rd Yr. MFG CRSE response and an increase in the “Agree” response. The modeand median in this group alone were 2 and 3 respectively. These findings may indicate that theCOVID-19 requirements do pose a concern for those trying to pursue academic requirements. Thispoint would have to be further investigated with a follow up study. Representative comments fromthis group also reflect the results of the compiled surveys (Table 6). Comments reflect thatrespondents recognize the importance of the protocol for safety, but it does affect their NJITMakerspace usage time. In addition, PPE such as the gloves presented a concern in practice. Thiswould need to be further

expert problem-solving [16]. The proposed approach allows modeling physics to beintegrated into a typical introductory college mechanics course. A third study developed modelsof problem-solving to study children’s problem-solving process [17]. According to the study, theconception of modeling the problem-solving process could provide a unifying framework forthinking about problem-solving in children.In this research, we integrate eye-tracking and VR to collect data from participants during theproblem-solving process. The collected data is used to develop models that allow for quantifyingand understanding the behavior of problem solvers and how their performance is compared toexperts. Performance measures are then developed to reflect the problem

ofmodern data collection and modeling. The mix of participants was interesting and reflected theinterdisciplinary training needed to implement Smart Manufacturing techniques. Out of 15 thatresponded, 2 were in business operations, 4 were in engineering, 3 were in technicalmanagement, 2 were technicians, and 4 were in Information Technology. Their prior exposure toSmart Manufacturing also varied, as shown in Figure 4a.The training focused initially on Smart Manufacturing definitions and then used the FrEDexample to walk the participants through advanced data collection, data analysis, and simulationsto improve the process. All of the materials were simply demonstrated given the time constraints.The overviews and demonstrations appeared to resonate

Almostsimilar advertising efforts were made for all three workshops, with more outreach efforts madeto regional institutions for the first and second workshops than for the third workshop.

andproduct quality. To optimize the system performance, it is important to identify the key factorsthat play significant roles. This study presents a quality control application to optimize anelectrohydraulic system in the presence of extraneous variability. The performance measures ofthe system are response time of the cylinder to a target setpoint position and positioning errorsthat reflect the deviation of current cylinder position from the target position. The controllableprocess parameters (factors) in this system include fluid pressure, proportional gain of thecontroller configuration, and signal communication (local vs. remote). The ambient temperaturewill be used as the extraneous noise variable to simulate real-life manufacturing
