Inthis paper we describe a unique hands on production learning experience provided to sophomoreindustrial engineering students at Mercer University. These students design and develop theprocess and participate as production workers and industrial engineers for producing 3Dyearbooks for the Georgia Academy for the Blind. These student experience first-handproduction concepts such as process planning, manpower allocation, assembly lines, cycle time,fixtures, bottlenecks, rework, quality, etc… This experience is the first time some of thesestudents have been exposed to and/or participated in production of an actual

SeaPerch activities in a number ofcontexts are well documented in ASEE literature, including presentations to the Pre-CollegeEngineering Education, Women in Engineering, Ocean and Marine Engineering, MechanicalEngineering, and Multidisciplinary Engineering Divisions (see, for example: 2-17), though lessinformation is available on implementation of SeaGlide programs. The sections below describethe planning and scheduling aspects of both the SeaPerch and SeaGlide camps, which built offprior experience, and also capture feedback and lessons learned for future camp planning.PlanningPlanning considerations focused on five key areas: venue, working with minors

Many of them shared stories about how they struggle withadapting to different schedules. On the ADHD Subbredit, there were several stories aboutindividuals who could not keep appointments, make scheduled calls, or arrive at work on time.

One of the barriers to developing ASRmodels that can handle disordered speech is the scarcity of datasets publicly available for trainingand testing, especially for young children.

(Appendix). The purpose of thisconnection was to teach the students how to build team dynamics through planning andexecuting a project.While the regular project allowed the students to propose a solution based mainly on functionalassessment, the EM project asked them to consider technical feasibility, customer value andeconomic viability as well. In the process of searching for technical feasibility, the studentslearned how to integrate information from many sources to gain insight. In this project, it wasshown that a carefully designed strut composed of elastic elements can provide the needed springaction (Solid Mechanics connection), and an actuator with a proper orifice can provide adequatedissipation of energy (Fluid Mechanics connection

Several of the students, as well as their engineering student mentor, wereparticularly interested in music and partnered with a thirteen-year-old girl with cerebral palsythat loves to listen to music. The girl is confined to her chair, is nonverbal, and struggles withfine motor skills. The team visited the girl and had an opportunity to interview her mother andnurse. Both expressed a desire for the girl to be able to independently control her own music ei-ther through her TV or Alexa.The team brainstormed ideas and developed an ambitious design plan (see Figure 5a) that in-volved a control unit with large assistive buttons connected to a micro-controller based MP3player and speaker that can give eight distinct

Furthermore, the faculty networked with prominent professionals at Dominion Energy,and later recruited them to develop and teach the power engineering curriculum to strengthenweaker connections. Industry professionals have the opportunity to educate future powerengineers or the future employees of the company through classroom teaching, research andclass project collaborations as well as guest lectures.The collaboration did not end after the faculty completed the summer internship at DominionEnergy.

The models of the listed problems are presented in thesame order they are planned to be used in the course. The studied problems were selected fromR.C. Hibbeler’s Mechanics of Materials text7, since this is the text used at Georgia SouthernUniversity to deliver the Mechanics of Materials course. It should further be stated that in thisproject the simulation files were developed in a manner that they can easily by modified to generatethe solution of variety of other problems.

These will be used to help document the impact of the course.It is anticipated that students will learn from each other through the multiple case studies, theresearch and presenting as peers.

engineering project in which deadlines, failures/setbacks, projectrevisions, client requested modifications, regular presentations/meetings, and other challengesare encountered. Through this experience, the students learned to plan, schedule, design, andimplement non-academic engineering solutions effectively.In doing so, the students also devised a unique solution for the vibration analysis problemdiscussed in the beginning of the paper. The solution can potentially help identify faults or detectfuture failures in rotating machinery on a real-time edge-analytics based system. This can beuseful in a wide variety of applications, such as those relevant to human safety, those in whichthe maintenance downtime for the equipment of interest is very long
