teaching, as well as methods of testing: • In the year 2001, the course title has been changed to “Manufacturing Processes”. A new text book has been adopted to reflect the changes in the course description by removing the management aspects in manufacturing such as forecasting, inventory control, aggregate planning, sequencing and scheduling, and project management, and by adding welding and joining processes, introduction to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, metrology and testing, and process automation. • In the year 2002, the integrated laboratory assignments have been enhanced by acquiring a coordinate measuring machine (Brown & Sharp) and incorporating a design, fabrication, and

Come hell or high water, wemust develop a grade for each student!Let’s say that Ole State is an undergraduate-only comprehensive institution offering a number ofABET-accredited Engineering courses. Without support from graduate programs (there aren’tany), the faculty assumes execution of all aspects of support for the teaching activity. A fullteaching load at Ole State usually involves teaching three sections, each scheduled at threecontact hours per week. Laboratory courses are independent and carry a different load allocation.Teaching Faculty members must
