’ leadership forums during 2008 and 2009. The paper will conclude with an outline of one possible step towards incorporating advanced manufacturing technologies into an undergraduate curriculum, without displacing instruction on timeless fundamentals.Historical Perspective for Introduction of New Technologies: For at least the past threedecades, the face of manufacturing has been in flux. The workplace in 2010 looks very muchdifferent than its counterpart in 1980. Tools and practices have evolved enormously. Inresponse, so has been the need for definition of manufacturing engineering education1 and thedesign of both undergraduate and graduate curricula. 74

encompassing issues. The first of these great issues is the definition of a body of knowledgefor manufacturing engineering -- and of a curriculum to convey such knowledge toundergraduate students. The second primary challenge was the crafting of an articulateddifferentiation in terms of outcome objectives between and amongst the various educationaldegree levels that contribute to the professional discipline. The third great challenge has beenthe crafting of a strategic framework that enables individual programs to incorporate newly-emerging transformational technologies into a cohesive corpus of manufacturing engineering. These great issues have been accompanied by continual concerns about the identity, healthand vitality of the manufacturing

bodily-kinesthetic intelligence”3 to name a few. Gardener views intelligence as an individual’s abilityto solve problems or create products that are valued by society. The implication for teachingand learning is that instructors need to vary the inputs and have a repertoire of strategies forfacilitating learning. The more ways we find to process material, the stronger learningbecomes. We need to recognize there’s no “one best way.”Learning is enhanced in an enriched environment. The physical environment of the classroomis certainly important (aesthetics, climate, etc.), but so too is the learning environment that wecreate to get students to use their minds well. An enriched learning environment is a settingwhere students are actively engaged in

Page 15.954.2 “Just as one cannot learn to drive without getting behind the wheel; or to swim without getting wet; entry into the profession of engineering, particularly in the area of design, requires far more than sitting in a lecture hall.”1IntroductionManufacturing processes are an important part of the curriculum for mechanical engineeringmajors. Industrial employers have long called for newly-graduated engineers to have bothknowledge and proficiency in manufacturing, and they
