A single educational environment can be defined asa department(s), school(s), or colleges(s). Such an arrangement provides an opportunity wherethe engineering and technology curriculum blend to offer the students a wide range of experienceand knowledge. In addition, it provides the local communities and industry with integratedworkforce that has a high diversity of engineering and technology skills. This paper is intendedto discuss guidelines, strategies to

inserts are an integral part of machining operations. In the continual search for costeffectiveness in manufacturing we turn our focus to an attempt to reduce tooling cost byimproving the life of cutting inserts. There has been continued research conducted to increasecutter tool life with various applications of cutting fluids, speed and feed rates, and the use ofcoated cutters. One newer approach, cryogenic processing, has been promoted as an effectivemethod of extending the useful life of different cutting tools used in the manufacturing process.This research area provides an excellent opportunity to apply real life research into capstonedesign projects.

One common theme in most of these projects is that the courses are designed forsenior students enrolled mainly in engineering and other disciplines 6 - 9). While theseprojects are multidisciplinary, synchronization of course syllabi across the disciplineswas not made.In the above context, the Interdisciplinary Design Studies (IDS) project undertaken atRobert Morris University (RMU) in the spring of 2006 was a unique experiment by virtueof two features: Firstly, because the course was offered for mainly junior (along withsome sophomore) students and not for senior or graduate students as is usually

This course has beencontinuously updated to offer the latest tools, software, and teaching and evaluation techniques.Students are assigned to teams based on their learning style, technical and academic background,and schedule. Students must complete an industry-supported project. In this course, students areevaluated both individually through performance on homework, quizzes, and exams; and also asteam members on the basis of a design and prototype review, final report, presentation, peerevaluation, and comments by a panel of experts. Course assessment is based upon a variety ofsurveys and feedback mechanisms. This paper describes several of this year’s projects

This effort is funded by the National ScienceFoundation (NSF). These curricula will cover the gamut of the needs for manufacturingtechnologists in the aerospace industry and will also provide a common fluency in aerospacemanufacturing procedures, processes, and terminology. The need for a pool of skilled technologyworkers in this industry is highlighted by the aging of the existing workforce and demands forincreased manufacturing efficiency with an increasingly complex product. The civilian andmilitary aerospace industries share some common problems thereby making

solving, some with extensive industry experience. These professionals caneasily prove that a structured process will yield better solutions to problems than an off-the-wallapproach, and that anyone’s problem solving skills can be improved. Similarly, most engineersspend much of their time involved in projects, but few have been trained in project planning andmanagement by actually doing projects. Structured problem solving and project management areboth skills that are learned more by actual practice than by textbook study. So it is necessary toincorporate significant project practice using both skills into curriculum as a part of normalcourse work. This paper will discuss the strategies and processes of curriculum enhancement for

However, those skills once considered “soft” areincreasingly necessary not just to climb the corporate ladder, but even to access the first rung.Chief among those newly necessary soft skills is the ability to work as a member of a team. Thebig question is how to impart soft-skill lessons, especially in the academic environment whereoutcomes assessment is increasingly more important.In one form or another, though, team projects are an integral part of the manufacturing educationexperience.
